The Challenge Is…
❓ You’re not landing high-end clients despite having tons of projects in your portfolio.
❓ You don’t have a portfolio at all and have no idea how to gain the necessary experience to build one.
❓ You tend to attract clients with tiny budgets and inconsistent design needs but you’re ready to increase your revenue and work with bigger brands.
This can all change with
A High-End Portfolio
Let’s turn your portfolio into a money-making machine.
I used to be just like you.
I knew I was capable of creating a thriving freelance graphic design business but I had no idea how to get high-end clients to take me seriously.
After years of trial-and-error, I realized it all boiled down to one key piece of the puzzle – my portfolio.
As my portfolio evolved, so did my business.
I started booking clients consistently and grew to a multiple six-figure design agency where I regularly worked with Fortune 500 companies, traveled monthly, and worked from anywhere in the world.
I’ve since mentored hundreds of graphic designers to become successful freelancers
The first step? Nailing your portfolio and utilizing sales psychology to attract high-end clients.

Riley was hired as a full-time graphic designer within 3 months of completing the program.
"As much as I was excited to start a new journey to switch careers, coming from a totally different career field with no degree in design, I felt like I was stuck in a long tunnel where I couldn't figure out how to get to the other end. Then I came across Mariah's Project Portfolio course and it literally helped me to build my entire portfolio which led me to land my current job at a design agency! Mariah is now my life mentor and I'm forever grateful for her and her course!"

Introducing the Project Prompt Library
Building your portfolio can be tricky business when you feel like you’re stuck in the never-ending loop of “you need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience.”
Not to mention, sometimes you just need to practice designing real-world projects to feel confident in your skills and work.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret — you don’t need any professional experience to build a strong design portfolio or build your confidence as a graphic designer. Yep, you read that right! You don’t even need to have had a single previous client. You just need skills, passion and practice.
That’s why I’m including the Project Prompt Library, which includes all the materials and assets you’ll need to create faux client projects. I’ve pulled from the thousands of real-world projects I’ve worked on to create detailed project briefs that feel like they came directly from a client!
These prompts are perfect for designers who need more real-life practice or are looking to expand or grow their portfolio but struggle with coming up with lifelike design projects.
This is also for you if you need real brands to design for but you’re not a brand designer yourself because I’ve included all the client branding for you!

Project Brief
Company Name
Logo
Brand Colors
