Mentorship
For creatives ready to commit to real growth, working through portfolio, craft, and positioning in the industry.
Ronald offers a 1-on-1 critique-led mentorship designed to bridge the gap between graduate-level portfolios and high-end commercial execution.
Acting as a Creative Director rather than a software instructor, he works closely with mentees over 12 weeks to sharpen their visual eye, deconstruct their projects through live draw-overs, and elevate their craft in cinematic lighting, motion rhythm, and composition.
Beyond the visuals, the programme dives deep into the business of design. Mentees learn how to articulate their creative choices, present and defend work to clients, handle commercial feedback, and strategically position their portfolio to command industry attention.
What’s Included
- One 1-hour session every week, over 3 months (12 sessions total)
- Direct, honest feedback on your portfolio, reel, and creative direction
- Guidance on positioning yourself and pricing your work
- A clear, realistic plan for where to focus next
Investment
SGD 2,400 for the full 3-month programme.
If you don’t feel it was worth it after your first session, you will be refunded in full.
