Private mentorship
I have recently been offering 'private paid' and 'course paid' mentoring. These mentorships are available to women aiming to or working in games, specifically within the Art department. If you are a University looking for an industry mentor please do get in touch and let's talk!
Every mentorship is shaped around you! Your needs and goals! This can be anything from Feedback on a Character you're working on to advice on how to land your first job! Sessions can cover areas outside of art, such as CV, Socials and Portfolio development.

Private mentoring will be 85 pounds per 1hr session (paid before sessions). I recommend a minimum of 3 to 5 sessions to see some progress but of course, you can have as many as you would like! Also if you refer someone to private mentoring and they go through with it then you will receive one free extra session as a thank you.
-
Yes! All sessions are carried out remotely via Google Hangout. This allows for flexiability in schedule.
