An Vu

Guidance for architecture and design applicants and students, from A-level and foundation to university.

Sessions run like a university tutorial: we set a clear goal, you present your work, and we talk it through together.

We'll cover:

• Portfolio curation and project selection
• Layout, storytelling, and image-making
• Personal statement and interview preparation

Good for: strengthening an existing portfolio, or building one from scratch over several sessions.

Before the session: share your portfolio or work in progress so I can review it beforehand. Starting from scratch? Just tell me your goals and we’ll plan your portfolio together.

You'll receive: a short summary with key action points.

Sessions are independent of any university. I don't advise on or influence admissions decisions at any institution, and I don't offer private sessions to students I currently teach.

Feedback and creative direction on the sets, spaces and environments in your film, animation or visualisation project, whether you're sketching, building in Blender or generating with AI.

We'll cover:

• Spatial layout, scale and composition
• Atmosphere, light and materials
• How your space supports the story, from concept to final shot

Good for: sets or environments that don't feel quite right, planning a space before you build it, or a fresh pair of eyes on your work.

Before the session: share your project and what you'd like help with. New to set design? Just tell me what you’d like to learn.

You'll receive: a short summary with key action points.

Need help getting AI tools to produce consistent results? Book the AI Workflow Session.

A breakdown of your AI filmmaking workflow, grounded in spatial design fundamentals, so your sets and environments stay consistent from shot to shot.

Tools I currently work with: I specialise in Higgsfield, and also use Seedance, Kling, Midjourney and Nano Banana for image and video, plus Gemini and Claude for scripting and prompt planning. Using something else? The principles still apply, so mention it when booking.

We'll cover:

• Environment and set consistency across shots and camera angles
• Keeping characters consistent within their environments
• Planning spaces before you generate, so you waste fewer credits
• A workflow tailored to your project

Good for: fixing inconsistent results, or building a reliable process from the start.

Before the session: share examples of your current work. New to AI? Just tell me what you’d like to make.

You'll receive: a short summary with key action points.
