Leslie Burns-Dell’Acqua

Leslie will review your website or your portfolio (you pick which) with an eye toward what buyers are looking for in either of these crucial marketing tools. You’ll get lots of notes on what is working, what isn’t, and how you can maximize the tool’s potential impact. The focus will be on presenting your individual vision in a way that makes you stand out (positively) from the horde. Bring a few extra images, especially of your “personal” work, for best results. Of course, you’ll be able to ask other questions, time permitting, and all at a great discount from her usual rates!
