Portfolio Oomph

Positive: Quality

Finding Julie was one of the best thing that happened this year. Trying to support our daughter with her Portfolio felt a little overwhelming. I am not a creative and she knew exactly what she wanted but time pressures, dyslexia and other pressures were making the process stressful. Julie listened, understood and helped her produce a portfolio that reflected the concepts, design ideas and prototypes that won her offers. She heads to Glasgow School of Art in September. We can't recommend Julie enough.

This is a fantastic portfolio course! After taking the course I got 2 offers from my first choice for a BA in Painting at Edinburgh as well as from DJCAD. Julie is very organised and supportive through the whole process, you can tell she cares a lot about her students. She was very helpful in explaining different parts of the projects, I really liked how each project was broken down into check lists and the zoom calls we had throughout each part of the process were beyond beneficial in keeping us productive. Julie has a lot of knowledge about what art schools are looking for and how to make your portfolio meet their expectations and requirements. She helps with personal statements and portfolio statements too. I did this course remotely which is always hard as you have to be self directed but Julie keeps in contact with you frequently and helps in organising deadlines, the way her course is structured makes things so much clearer and easier for you to plan out. As stressful as applying to art school is Julie made the creative process so enjoyable for me, I've honestly learned a lot for my own art practice through this course as well and still use some of the techniques taught in this course whenever I'm working on a personal project! Thank you so much Julie, I couldn't have done it without you!!

I really enjoyed working with Julie and the course that I took with Portfolio Oomph. Having someone who is experienced with art school applications from the university side definitely helped to make a portfolio that got me into Djcad on my 4th try. I'm very glad I contacted Julie, without her I wouldn't be preparing to go to uni this year!

Before Portfolio Oomph I had no idea how to go about creating a portfolio but thanks to Julies guidance I was able to get a place at DJCAD which was my first choice! Julie was so helpful and friendly and was always there if I needed support. She really helped me understand the creative process and improve my skills as well as increasing my confidence in my work.
