Why does a project consultation cost more than a portfolio review?

While the value for a portfolio review is much greater in the long run, you are the one who will need to do all the heavy lifting of bringing your portfolio into shape and bettering your craft. And you are not paid for it, not directly anyways.

When you work on a project you already have a budget. So your costs are covered and my advice will speed up and simplify your work and will lead to a satisfied customer.

That’s a lot of value right here, right now.

Can you help to draft a contract?

I’m not a lawyer so I can’t give you a consultation on how to write your own contract, but I can tell you what to watch out for and what changes to ask of your client - the same way I do it for myself.

Can you consult on AI?

I do not use AI in my work and therefore cannot consult on its use or AI generated work.
