Your Portfolio Needs Expert Eyes

Get Expert Feedback on Your Architecture Portfolio

Get detailed feedback from a Harvard graduate on what's working, what needs improvement, and how to make your portfolio unforgettable.

I've reviewed hundreds of architecture portfolios. I know what admissions officers at Harvard GSD, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia are looking for. I know what makes a portfolio stand out. And I know exactly what's holding yours back.

    Project Selection Analysis

    I'll review all your projects and give you honest feedback on which ones to include, which ones to cut, and which ones need more development. Not every project belongs in your portfolio, and I'll help you understand why.

    Presentation & Organization

    I'll evaluate how your portfolio flows, how your projects are organized, and whether the presentation is professional and compelling. Small changes in organization can make a huge difference.

    Design Thinking Clarity

    I'll assess whether your design thinking comes through clearly in each project. Admissions officers want to understand HOW you think, not just WHAT you've built. I'll tell you where this is clear and where you need to strengthen it.

    Technical Execution

    I'll review the quality of your renderings, documentation, sketches, and overall presentation. Are your images high quality? Is your documentation clear? Does everything look professional?

You've spent months building your architecture portfolio. You've selected your best projects. You've documented your work. You think it's ready.

But is it really?

Most architecture students submit portfolios without getting expert feedback. They don't know if they've selected the right projects. They don't know if their presentation is strong enough. They don't know if their design thinking comes through clearly.

Then they get rejected.

  • "The Most Valuable Feedback I've Received. I've shown my portfolio to teachers, mentors, and other architects. But Vaishnavi's feedback was on a completely different level. She understood what admissions officers were looking for and helped me position my work accordingly. Her written report was incredibly detailed and useful.

    —Former Customer

  • She Identified Issues I Didn't Even Know I Had. I thought my portfolio was strong, but Vaishnavi's review completely changed how I see it. She identified projects I should cut, helped me understand how to present my design thinking more clearly, and gave me specific recommendations for improvement. I made the changes she suggested and got into Harvard GSD

    —Former Customer

  • She Helped Me See My Work Differently. Vaishnavi's portfolio review wasn't just about what was wrong. It was about helping me understand my own work better and how to communicate it more effectively. She asked questions that made me think deeper about my design process. That clarity made all the difference in my application
