With graduation approaching like a bullet train, a wildly talented SCAD student knew one thing to be true, if she underdelivered on her exit project, it would cost her everything she and her family worked so hard for. She needed a portfolio demonstrating all that she studied, a digital presence that felt intentional, elevated, and industry ready but while balancing back to back final projects and intense personal-life demands, time was not on her side. That is until she remembered she had a direct line to a team by the name of Comet + Crater.

After many late nights of strategic collaboration focused on storytelling, white boarding, creative direction, and eventually full production takeover, Comet + Crater built a sleek online portfolio that helped Dannie meet (and exceed) her graduation requirements. She didn’t just submit some static PDF as a final project, she launched a professional-grade brand that caught the attention of SCAD faculty and industry professionals alike. Today, she’s not just a graduate and inspiration, she’s a rising creative director poised for real world success. 

We had a hard deadline. Just two months to conceptualize, design, and launch a full online portfolio. But Dannie was stretched thin: balancing school deadlines, finalizing portfolio projects, and managing personal life challenges. While she was a talented designer, she lacked experience organizing and presenting her work in a digital format. Her creative content was rich, but scattered. She needed someone to take the reins, provide clarity and structure, and deliver a site that would reflect her artistic voice and meet graduation requirements.

We partnered with Dannie to transform her graduation requirement into a polished, career-ready portfolio.

First, we led collaborative Milanote sessions to shape her visual identity and brand voice, making sure her digital presence felt cohesive and intentional.

Then, we gathered and organized her project assets, crafted narrative copy to highlight her cross-disciplinary strengths, and grouped her work strategically to align with her target roles.

Finally, we took full ownership of the site build, coached her through positioning and storytelling, and equipped her with a clean, intuitive platform she could proudly use to launch her creative career.
