A few practical details

Before
you begin.

Can you review a designer's portfolio or LinkedIn profile?
Yes. I review how you present your work and expertise: clarity, hierarchy, selection, visual consistency, and the story a prospective client or employer sees. For a portfolio, choose up to 3 projects with a maximum of 12 screens in total. For LinkedIn, the focus is your headline, About section, and Featured work. This is a design and presentation review; it does not promise job interviews or profile reach.
How is this different from the Strategic Brand Audit?
This is a focused second opinion on one defined part of your presentation. My Strategic Brand Audit explores an established brand more broadly across its touchpoints, category, and identity system. If you need that depth, I will explain the difference before you book.
What do I need to send?
A link or view-only files, the intended audience, and your main question or goal. For private profiles, send screenshots. Choose one of the defined options above and include only the selected materials you are able to share. If your work falls outside those limits, use the scope request form before buying.
Do we need a call?
No. I work entirely asynchronously, without calls or meetings. You send the context in writing, receive an annotated PDF, and can send one consolidated set of clarification questions within 7 calendar days of delivery.
Is this a redesign or a technical website audit?
The deliverable is assessment and recommendations. New design files, copy rewrites, implementation, technical SEO testing, code review, accessibility certification, analytics analysis, and audience research are outside this focused scope. I can propose a separate project where needed.
Can I use the recommendations with another designer?
Yes. You can act on the feedback yourself, share it with your team, or work with another designer. The review is a complete, standalone service.
Why choose a personal review if I already have AI feedback?
You are commissioning my professional assessment of your work in context. I explain the choices I would preserve or change and the reasons behind those recommendations. You can share earlier feedback if there is a specific point you want me to consider.
How does payment work?
For a standard review, first send your materials through the short form, then pay €200 EUR through secure Wix checkout. Use the same email address in both so I can match the payment to your materials. Submission alone does not start the review. For a different scope, ask me before buying and I will confirm the scope and fee in writing.
When will I receive the review?
Within 3 business days after payment and receipt of all agreed materials. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays in Bulgaria. I confirm the delivery date before work begins. The included follow-up clarifies the original findings; new materials or a new direction need a separate scope.
