What we do
Working on a design school admission portfolio is not only about helping students stand out in a competitive field, but it is also an opportunity to help them create memorable work and grow as artists and designers. By guiding students through the process of selecting, refining, and presenting their best work, we help them develop their unique style and voice, while also building their confidence and skills. The portfolio creation process is not just a means to an end, but a valuable experience in and of itself, allowing students to explore their creativity, push boundaries, and discover their potential.

Crafting successful college admissions through art
This is our story behind DesignFolio
Not so long ago ...
Meet the Founding TeamHello! We're Nithya and Deep, and our partnership was sparked years ago when we were both clients collaborating on a marketing project. Bonding over our shared passions for vegetarian food, spirituality, art, books, and more, we quickly became friends. Despite some initial sparks flying due to our mutual pursuit of perfection, it wasn't until late 2021 that a chance conversation about art, design, luxury brands, and digital marketing inspired us to work together.After our successful guidance of a student into Fashion Styling, Creative Direction, and Digital Content in the UK, we formally sealed our partnership and founded DesignFolio in February 2022.Today, we are a small team of counselors, designers, artists, writers - all working together in guiding aspiring artists and designers achieve their college admission dreams.
