introducing...
A portfolio is defined as a collection of assets. Designers, your prints are your assets. So let me ask you. Is your portfolio profitable? Are you getting it out in front of the right audience? Do you know your niche? Are you designing in alignment to your ideal clients and products?
Portfolio Bootcamp is here to help you uncover your unique place in the industry and help you to market to the right market!
Marketing to the right Market?
Create a portfolio that will get you more clients and more sales!
When you design in alignment to your ideal audience, you take the guess work out of design direction, layout, aesthetics, client list, pitching and pricing. Can you imagine having a body of work that feels so uniquely you while simultaneously being in complete alignment to the needs of your clients and their customers? Ready to create designs that your dream clients can't help but want more of?

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I learn photoshop or Illustrator in this course?
This course is focused around development, so coming in with basic knowledge of using Illustrator or Photoshop is a must.
How many prints do I include in my portfolio?
It is a personal choice, though 8-24 pieces is a great range. The method you will learn in PB is something you can come back to again and again as you continue to build out marketable groups for your online collection, in house job, portfolio or even working with a print studio.
I have a hard time editing myself, will this course help to do that?
YES! Editing ourselves as creatives can be one of the hardest steps. We love our work, but we are also our biggest critic. The layout and delivery will help you learn to edit yourself and to view your work with an outside eye/perspective.
What if I have more than one market focus?
We will cover this in our first live group call so that you can make the best decision for your portfolio before we dive in. There is a super easy solution to this problem that we will cover to put you at ease.
What if I am brand new to print design? Will this course help me?
Absolutely! As long as you come in with Illustrator or Photoshop under your belt, this course was created to work for the new designer to the seasoned designer whether you are creating from scratch, from old work or a combination.
