♦️Day 1: Check Your Credibility
The first topic is credibility, which is what allows people to trust you. One important way to improve your credibility is to correct the mistakes in your English. On the first day of the course, I share eight tips and a free resource to help you do that.

♦️ Day 2: Check Your Terminology
The second topic is terminology, which means speaking the language of your industry. On the second day of the course, I share seven ideas for choosing the best terminology to describe your work.

♦️ Day 3: Check Your Hierarchy
The third topic is hierarchy, which is what makes your portfolio easy to understand visually. Improving your hierarchy can help your audience to stay engaged with your work longer. On the final day of the course, I share seven suggestions to make your hierarchy clear and compelling.

🤩 After completing this course, you’ll be able to share your portfolio with greater confidence!

Why Artglish?

Every day, creative people are changing the world. Good design can make our lives better and an image or performance can help us connect with each other. Art and design can cross cultural boundaries to share a global message without words and bring people together. 🌎🌍🌏

But sometimes this “language” of art is not enough, and we must be able to speak or write about our work to interview for a job, apply for an artist residency, present our work to colleagues, or sell our work online. 🗣✍️💻

That’s where Artglish comes in. I help artists and designers to write and speak about their work with confidence. As you can see on my About page, I have many years of training and experience in art, design, and teaching English. So you can spend less time worrying about your English and more time changing the world with your creativity! 👩‍💻👨‍🎨🙌

I offer many different services to help you reach your dreams, but it all starts with the Portfolio Language Review. Knowing how to describe your work and your process is the key to speaking about it in interviews, writing about it online, or presenting it to your colleagues. Once you have a solid grasp of how to talk or write about your portfolio, the easier these other tasks will become. If you’re interested in learning more about my Portfolio Language Review package or my approach to online coaching, please email me. ✨✨✨

Come join us in The Studio!

The Studio is the Artglish community – people who enjoy talking about art and design in English. I knew when I started Artglish that community would be an important part of what I wanted to create. I loved the community that I formed with my past students in the classroom and wanted to recreate that online. ✌️👋🤜🤛

The reason I started this group was to give people interested in art and design a place to practice talking about their work that is comfortable, free, and fun! Many of my students and clients have told me that they don’t feel like they can share their ideas or opinions easily at work, or that they wish they had a place to practice where it was ok to make mistakes. The Studio community is that place! 🤩🤗🥰

As a member of The Studio, you’ll receive these benefits:
💌 You’ll get our newsletter with useful free resources and special opportunities.
🤝 You can join our private Facebook group, where you can meet other artists and designers to connect or ask questions.
👩‍💻 You can join us every month for Artchat, which is a group video call where you can practice speaking with the other artists and designers in The Studio. We’ll discuss our favorite works, articles about art and design, or talks by leaders in the field.

Success Stories

In addition to working with professional online clients, I’ve also been helping young artists and designers improve their English since 2012 while teaching at the Academy of Art University and the California College of the Arts.

Although these students are adapting to a new culture and often feel shy about speaking English, they always accomplish great things in my class. It is a joy to see how much they can transform and improve in just a few months. I’m very proud of their successes which continue to inspire me.
