"Leslie's detailed advice from market focus to page layout made everything much more clear"

In the Portfolio Bootcamp, Leslie generously shares an incredible amount of helpful, insider information about putting together a portfolio that will help you get the textile print design work you want. Before taking the bootcamp, I had a vague sense of what I might include in my portfolio, but had never seen any real-world examples, and didn't know where to start, or what type of additional info to include. - Kelly Irvine

"I honestly gained so much knowledge and understanding of who I am as a designer."

After finishing the portfolio bootcamp workshop, I have to say that I honestly gained so much knowledge and understanding of who I am as a designer. Leslie delivered the content in such a clear, concise and relaxed way about finding your design niche. The workshop was broken down into really simple and achievable steps. I feel that I really learnt a lot about myself as a designer when putting together my brand vision and market mood board. Since completing the workshop, I have updated my portfolio and created an instagram page with a clear vision in mind for who I am a designer. - Fiona White

"I’m grateful for your insight and direction as an artist in an often overlooked field."

After moving through the portfolio workshop I have better direction on cohesively representing who I am as an artist within the niche market that I want to work in. Historically I have tried to conform to what I thought someone wanted to see, for a large market and a wide array of styles. I feel much more confident going forward that having a clear path and presentation will allow me to showcase my talents for a specific and intentional audience. - Marisa Davis

"The amount of information that you provided to us was above and beyond my expectation"

Hi Leslie, I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful portfolio bootcamp. I’ve taken your Market Magic class and Consignment 101 class as well. The amount of information that you provided to us was above and beyond my expectation.
Being in the fashion industry for over 17 years I was surprised that I didn’t know some of the requirements when presenting a portfolio to a potential client. Your detailed power point presentations are valuable which I took snap shots to reference back when I was revamping my portfolio. I can’t thank you enough and I can’t wait to see what else you provide.

I completed the 4 week portfolio boot camp and it is honestly the best industry course I have done. Leslie provided me with a system to build a portfolio that is current and designed to get me the work I want. I had a clear process to follow and crucial information about what art directors want and how they want it presented. - Julie Bunyard

"I now know what I need to do to begin marketing."

I learned so much from both of your workshops: Market Magic: Branding and Marketing for Surface Pattern Designers and the Portfolio Bootcamp. I've been designing patterns for a few years, building up my portfolio. The timing of these workshops was perfect for me. I now know what I need to do to begin marketing. I can't thank you enough, Leslie, for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience. Thank you! - Beth Krommes

"Print design workshops and advice tailored specifically for fashion are rare, so these were really valuable."

Leslie’s advice to clarify and focus in on my design niche, and study that market to truly understand and design for it in a commercially successful way, was career changing. Print design workshops and advice tailored specifically for fashion are rare, so these were really valuable. - Kelly Lahl

"I am extremely grateful for the generosity and support Leslie has offered freelancers at this time of uncertainty."

It's hard to pick one thing that's been valuable to me from Leslie's workshops, but if I had to, I would say the workshops have really encouraged me to focus my work, and find my unique selling point as a Surface Pattern Designer. The actionable tips and information shared in both the brand workshop and portfolio bootcamp have made the process of doing this so much more intentional and effective. I am extremely grateful for the generosity and support Leslie has offered freelancers like myself at this time of uncertainty through these workshops and the facebook community.
