About Spencer
I’m a Central Saint Martins Fashion Design graduate with First-Class Honours and a professional fashion designer with experience at Alexander McQueen, Dunhill, Alexander Wang and AREA.
Having completed UAL Art & Design before CSM myself, I understand the Foundation application process and what makes a portfolio stand out. I’m passionate about helping students develop their individual creative voice, strengthen their work and approach applications with confidence.

My lessons are designed for students preparing Art & Design Foundation applications for Central Saint Martins, UAL, Kingston and other leading London and UK art schools.
Foundation portfolios are different from traditional academic applications. Schools want to see how you think, experiment, research and develop ideas, not simply a collection of polished final pieces. I help students understand how to communicate that creative process clearly while developing a portfolio that feels individual and memorable.
Together, we can work on:
• Building a portfolio from scratch
• Developing original concepts and project ideas
• Sketchbook and research development
• Drawing, photography, collage and mixed-media experimentation
• Showing progression from initial research to final outcomes
• Identifying gaps and creating new work where needed
• Portfolio editing, sequencing and layout
• Selecting your strongest projects and pages
• Personal statement and application guidance
• Portfolio reviews and mock interview preparation
Every lesson is tailored to your work, your interests and the specific Foundation courses you are applying to. I can support you throughout the entire application process or provide focused one-off portfolio reviews if you are approaching a submission or interview.
The goal is not to create a formulaic “art school portfolio.” It is to help you build a portfolio that demonstrates curiosity, experimentation, development and a genuinely individual creative point of view.

Spencer completely transformed my A-Level portfolio and helped me get accepted onto the Art & Design Foundation course I wanted (which I found out I got into a week ago!!). He helped me create a layout that felt completely individual to my work, pushed my ideas so much further, and gave me amazing interview tips on how to confidently explain my work and creative process. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Spencer really helped me get my portfolio to the level I needed for London College of Fashion. What made his advice so useful was that he understood exactly where I was in the process and never tried to force my work into a certain style. I’ve since recommended him to friends applying at Foundation level too, as he really understands both Foundation and degree applications.
Spencer completely changed the way I approached my portfolio. He helped me take ideas I wasn’t fully confident in and develop them into work that felt much stronger, more original and genuinely like me.
Throughout my application to Kingston School of Art, he pushed me creatively while always making sure my own identity came through in the work. His understanding of what fashion schools actually look for was invaluable, and I went into my application feeling far more confident and prepared. I genuinely don’t think my portfolio would have reached the same level without his mentorship. Thank You!!Spencer helped me so much with my portfolio and genuinely changed the way I looked at my own work. He has an amazing eye for seeing what’s interesting in an idea and knowing how to push it further, rather than trying to make your work look like everyone else’s.
What I loved most was how personal his advice was. He really took the time to understand me and what I wanted my portfolio to say. Could not recommend him enough!!!!!!!View more recommendations
