Academic support for design students
Design is marked on process as much as outcome. A beautiful final artefact with no documented iteration usually scores below a rougher one with visible research, testing and reasoning. We coach the process and the writing that evidences it.
What the support covers

Concept and research
User and context research, precedent studies and a brief you can argue from rather than guess at.

Sketchbooks, iteration logs and process boards that show decisions, not just outputs.
Digital craft

Portfolio and written work
Portfolio narrative for assessment or applications, plus design theory essays and dissertations.

Academic levels
We work with undergraduate and Bachelor's students on assignments, coursework, reports and final-year or capstone projects, and with Master's and PhD students on research proposals, literature reviews, methodology, data analysis, theses and dissertations.
English · Arabic · French
Sessions are available in English, Arabic and French, so you can think through difficult ideas in the language you reason fastest in and still submit in the language your university requires.
Academic integrity
We coach, tutor and give feedback. Students research, build and submit their own assessed work, which keeps them inside their institution's academic integrity rules.
