Over the course of a few months, she helped me build a completely new portfolio from the ground up by providing fresh project prompts and working closely with me to design and develop each one. She boosted my confidence by highlighting my strengths and constructively identifying areas for improvement, always offering clear, actionable suggestions on how to grow. Stella never wasted time sugarcoating anything. Her feedback was always candid but kind, and she brought a direct, no-nonsense approach that kept me focused and motivated. She also helped me create a structured, organized plan for my job search, which has led to real momentum—I’m now beginning to receive interview opportunities for design roles. I highly recommend Stella to any designers who feel stuck or unsure about their next steps, especially those who need guidance in building a strong, strategic portfolio.” Read more Show less

Stella's transparency, professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for my design journey were evident in every interaction.
