About this Gig
Looking to take your graphic design portfolio to the next level?
I'm a graphic designer working at EDIT Brand Studio in Manchester, where I work on branding, visual identities and creative projects for clients. I also run our internship programme, reviewing portfolios, interviewing applicants and mentoring emerging creatives.
I understand what makes a portfolio stand out, how to present your work effectively and how to communicate your creative thinking.
Whether you're a design student, recent graduate or designer looking to improve your portfolio, I'll provide honest, constructive feedback tailored to your work and goals.
What I can help with:
- Portfolio layout, structure and presentation
- Project selection and sequencing
- Typography, branding and visual consistency
- Project storytelling and communicating your design decisions
- Identifying strengths and areas for improvement
- Practical advice on making your portfolio stand out to potential employers
My goal isn't just to tell you what could be better, but to help you understand why and how to improve it.
Choose the package that suits you, send over your portfolio, and let's work on making your next step in design a stronger one.

FAQ
Who is this portfolio review for?
My reviews are ideal for graphic design students, recent graduates and designers looking to improve their portfolios, prepare for job applications or get an independent industry perspective on their work.
What format should my portfolio be in?
You can send your portfolio as a PDF or share a link to your online portfolio, such as Behance or a personal website. Please ensure any links are accessible.
What will you look at when reviewing my portfolio?
I'll assess the overall presentation, project selection, layout, typography, visual consistency and how effectively you communicate your creative thinking. My feedback will highlight what's working well and where there's room for improvement.
Will you redesign my portfolio for me?
No, this service focuses on feedback, advice and guidance rather than carrying out the design work for you. My aim is to help you understand how to improve your portfolio and develop your own skills.
What's the difference between the packages?
The Portfolio Review includes written feedback and practical advice. Portfolio Improvement includes everything in the basic package, plus a personalised action plan. Portfolio Coaching includes everything in the second package, plus a 1 to 1 video call to discuss your feedback and ask questions.
Can you help me prepare for agency applications?
Absolutely. I can offer guidance on presenting your projects, communicating your design decisions and making your portfolio more effective for agency applications, drawing on my experience working in a creative agency and reviewing portfolios through our internship programme.
