“If you want your young person to get into their dream art school, read this…”
Most online portfolio advice isn’t made for parents like you. That’s why I created a guide that actually works – and I’d like to give it to you… for free.
Inside 'Creative Careers', you’ll discover a practical and insightful guide to demystifying the complex application process for art and design courses.

In 'Creative Careers', Julie unpacks her step-by-step approach for success at some of the most competitive art schools in the UK and abroad.
“If you’ve been feeling stuck and frustrated with not being able to find clear, actionable advice, then this book is a must have”

What makes this different from everything else online, Julie?
Great question!
Here’s the thing…
I’m not just teaching theory; I’ve built my tutoring business based on 10 years teaching and interviewing students for Edinburgh College of Art. Also helping over 100 students get into their dream art and design courses.
And the best part?
Students achieve success every year based on my teaching.
That means everything in Creative Careers is practical, tested and is actually working right now – not outdated or generic advice you find online from people who were successful with their portfolios many years ago.
You WON’T hear me telling you:
- You have to be an A grade student at school to be successful
- You have to be amazing at life-like representational drawing (a complete untruth!)
- That having a dyslexia, ADHD or autism diagnosis will prevent success.
Because…
I know first-hand how challenging it is to create a successful art school portfolio AND how it is to be a parent supporting a young person in this.
I’ve spent eye-watering amount of time researching university courses, attending countless open days and degree shows and I’ve searched everywhere for advice tailored individually to art and design applicants.
But I never found it.
So, I’m glad to report that now you can “find” it – right here!
Inside this book, you’re getting the exact steps to prepare for your application and portfolio, without the fluff.
I’ve done the years of learning, I did genuinely make the mistakes myself and had the sleepless nights…
So you don’t have to.

Here’s a sneak peak at what
you’ll find inside:
📍 Pg. 24: The Skills They Don’t Explicitly “Teach”
Discover the valuable transferable skills, for any employment, that your young person will adopt on a daily basis, not just the technical and practical art skills.
📍 Pg. 33: What is Creativity and What is the Issue?
Understand the differences between what creativity at school vs. at college demand – experimenting, risk taking, failure and reflection are all vital aspects within creativity.
📍 Pg. 43: Quantity Over Quality
In most things we are taught quality over quantity. Learn how often students work TOO slow, they don’t produce enough to allow themselves to produce the quality they are truly capable of.
📍 Pg. 49: Foundation Course Diplomas
How to know if a Foundation Diploma is really necessary and the differences between HNC/D and your application to BA (Hons) degree progammes.
📍 Pg. 60: Timelines and When To Get Started
Get your young person in the strongest position possible by getting started in plenty of time to allow the quantity of work to be produced, with time for experimenting, risk taking etc.
📍 Pg. 66: What Mindset Should You Adopt?
Your young person’s mindset is THE most important thing that they can work on and that will catapult them from struggling with lack of awareness and overwhelm to flying and loving it!
📍 Pg. 86: What Content Will You Need for Applications?
Learn what you’ll need, aside from a portfolio – your application, a written statement, a reference, sketchbooks and the ‘digital portfolio’ – set tasks can sometimes also be requested.
📍 Pg. 113: How Will You Handle Interviews?
Learn how to practise talking about your art work, because let’s face it, it can all seem very abstract and dare I say it – pretentious!
📍 Pg. 127: You Got (or Didn’t Get) the Offer, What Next?
Practical next steps to ensure that your young person accepts the RIGHT offer for them and how to manage if no offers are on the table – and I talk from experience of the latter.
“If this is so good, why are you giving it away for free, Julie?”
Yeah, that’s a really good point!
And here’s the honest answer…
After building my tutoring services I understand the variations of the amount of support people (like you) need.
By giving you this book for free, I get to prove how powerful these strategies really are in the art and design education world.
And, if they work as well for you (which they will!) in gaining a real understanding, you might decide to check out my portfolio preparation course and mentoring services in the future.
So it’s a win-win.
- You get actionable, application strategies… for free
- And maybe, down the line, I’ll have the privilege of working with you/your young person as a client
