NEW: 21 Day Portfolio Boost Challenge! Starts 10th November

Real Projects. Bold Ideas. Portfolio Power.

Get ready to supercharge your portfolio — in just 21 days.

Are you ready to stop waiting for your dream projects — and start creating them?

If you’re an illustrator, designer, or creative freelancer who’s been meaning to update your portfolio (but keep getting stuck on what to make, how to start, or when to find the time), this is for you.

So many amazing illustrators hold themselves back — not because they’re not good enough, but because their portfolios don’t yet show the full power of what they can do.

We created this challenge to change that.

The 21-Day Portfolio Boost Challenge has been created built for illustrators, designers, and creative freelancers who are ready to stop waiting for opportunities and start confidently creating them.

This isn’t about chasing perfection.

It’s about making your move — and finishing strong.

Enrol today for £79 (50 spots only!)  | Starts 10th November

What to Expect

Over the 21 days, you’ll focus on creating one powerful project from start to finish — with all the guidance, structure, and creative momentum you need to bring it to life.

If you’ve been meaning to refresh your portfolio (but kept getting stuck on what to make or how to start), you’re in exactly the right place.

By the end of the challenge, you’ll have a polished new portfolio piece, valuable feedback from Art Directors, and the confidence to share your work proudly with the world.

This isn’t about chasing perfection.
