The value

Portfolio mentorship that goes deeper than the surface.

Where the ideas behind the work come to life.

Beautiful work isn't enough on its own. What sets an application apart is the thinking behind it — a clear concept, a sharp strategy, and a real understanding of fashion as a business. That's my specialty, and it's what turns a strong application into one admissions remembers.

This is for you if…

A short read to know if we're a fit — before you ever book a call.

You're an international student — in China, Korea, or applying from abroad — aiming for a top fashion or design school in the US or UK.

You have real talent, but your portfolio doesn't yet show the concept and strategy behind your work — the thinking schools look for.

You want a specialist mentor who teaches at this level — not a high-volume agency that treats every applicant the same.

Working With Me

A practitioner's eye, on both sides of the Atlantic.

I am a fashion educator and industry practitioner. I work as faculty teaching MA and BA programs at leading fashion and design universities and institutions in NYC.

I earned my MFA at Central Saint Martins in London and worked for years as a stylist in the fashion industry. I help international students turn their creative work into focused, admissions-ready portfolios and applications, for top schools, in both the US and the UK.

01

Both sides of the Atlantic

I studied in the UK and teach in the US, so I can guide you through both application systems.

02

Current and active instructor in business, art and design academia

I teach at multiple institutions, at BA and MA levels.

03

An industry eye

Years as a working stylist — plus experience in business design and working with companies — mean your portfolio gets a practitioner's perspective, not just an academic's.

Questions

Before you book.

No — no honest mentor can. I help you present your strongest, most authentic application; the decision rests with the schools.
Top fashion and design programs in the US and UK — Central Saint Martins, FIT, LCF, Pratt, RISD, SCAD, and other leading programs.
Online video, scheduled flexibly across time zones so we can work together wherever you are.
Ideally 12+ months before deadlines, but I work with students at every stage.
You work directly with a current fashion educator — not a high-volume agency handing you off to junior staff.
