I had a portfolio review with Lucie and it was extremely helpful. I tried a few new things and wanted to get feedback on how best to progress. Lucie's feedback was spot on. She has a fantastic eye and gave me very useful advice for my illustration. I felt very motivated and inspired. I feel very grateful for it and can only highly recommend it.
Heike
Lucie is hugely positive and constructive. She takes time and care to understand your strengths; and is then clear and imaginative with her suggestions and thoughts about how best to proceed. She listens carefully (a rare gift) and strikes the right balance of realism with encouragement. I highly recommend her.

Sometimes, as an illustrator, it can feel a bit like you’re out at sea by yourself and you’ve not got a paddle, a map or anything. It can feel really overwhelming sometimes. Since I’ve been having reviews with Lucie I feel so much better. The advice I have been given has been actively helping my daily practice and my future career goals.

Lucie is so kind, knowledgeable and really insightful. I was so nervous for our first portfolio review but I was put completely at ease and left feeling really positive with a plan of what I could do to grow my practice. I feel extremely lucky to have found Luddington creative and would highly recommend their coaching and portfolio reviews.
