Although it might seem like a like a lofty goal, in this class we'll work together to help you turn that vision into a concrete plan.


As a professional illustrator and a top teacher on Skillshare, I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned brands like Jaguar, Simon & Schuster, Starbucks, and Royal Canadian Mint. My experiences have provided me with valuable insights that I’m eager to share with you. Throughout the class, I’ll provide an effective framework for approaching your creative practice to land high-profile partnerships. This framework includes the three key pillars:

  • Building a Professional Portfolio: Learn how to craft a portfolio that not only showcases your best work but also tells a compelling story that attracts brands. We’ll explore both personal and hybrid portfolios, discussing how they can effectively connect you with top clients.

  • Crafting Effective Cold Pitches: Get tips on creating standout cold pitches that communicate your value and make a strong impression on potential clients. I’ll share strategies to help you put together pitches that open doors to new opportunities and collaborations.

In addition, we will cover key aspects of client communication and working with creative briefs. I will also discuss valuable advice that has been instrumental in growing my own practice and building strong brand relationships.
