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."

"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."

"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."

"Truly eye-opening!"

"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."
