While I have helped and coached more than 500+ clients and corporations, here are a few references.
"This was my first time using Banafsheh as a coach. It was the most productive learning experience I've ever had about my work and how I wish to change my direction. She helped me identify my strong points and how I can improve and build my skills around them. More importantly, it helped me realize why I do things the way I do. This has not only helped me focus on aiming in the right direction but it has also challenged me and pushed me towards overcoming my boundaries. I hope she will see an improvement in my work in the next review session. thanks a lot, Banafsheh."
Tana Gaurav
"Banafsheh's portfolio review and coaching style is in one word: amazing! When I was preparing to apply to art schools, I asked Banafsheh to help me put my portfolio together. I didn't know it was going to be a six-hour journey of self-discovery. We reviewed the images that I had taken over the last few years and we came up with a portfolio that I use to submit as part of my application package. As a result of this review, I received a $2500.00 scholarship based on the strength of my portfolio."
Christine Tinsley
"Working with Banafsheh as a coach and on my portfolio really helped me to step back and understand my work. When I came to her, my work was all over the place. We talk about my life, my work, my goals and it helped me realize what it is that I want to pursue. Overall, the time I spent with her was a great experience and very necessary for me."
Alex Fitzgerald
"Truly eye-opening!"
Rachel Cohen
"The private sessions with Banafsheh helped me to see my work in such different light."
Loretta Fuchs
"I was able to take away great lessons in crafting my art so that it better expresses myself by letting go of my own inhibitions and attempting to not " overthink". To that end, I was able to see this immediately translate in the form of my artistic statement which easily composed after our initial first conversation. This was not only a way to change career but also life-changing for me."
