"Artist Biz Starter Kit should be taken by all artists. Not only does it equip you with tools you can use for your career, it also empowers you and your portfolio. Plus, Regina is an awesome facilitator! She creates a safe space to reflect on yourself as an artist and channel it into your work. She is detail-oriented, constructive, and open. She does not dictate what you should do, but guides you to bring out the best in you."

"I have never taken a course that addressed portfolio building and marketing myself as an artist before so I'm glad that this is being offered, especially to Filipino artists. I wish more practical courses like this existed in the Philippines so I'm really glad that Regina is doing this.

I love how organized and supportive she is. Her attention to detail is one of her biggest strengths as a facilitator and teacher. She goes the extra mile to check all the work that you've done and offer useful constructive feedback. I also love the personal touch that she adds to the class. She is open to share about her own experience and stories whilst staying humble and down to earth. She is very approachable and I feel really safe to express myself."

"It's amazing and life-giving! She's a very considerate teacher who doesn't miss a thing when it comes to her requirements and feedback for each client. Having her as my teacher motivated me to do the best work I can given the timeframe and respect my process and see how else I can improve things depending on my goals and personality as a professional artist.

Regina motivated me to do the best work I can given the timeframe, respect my individual process, and see how else I can improve even the littlest things on my website, bio, resume, reel, set card, and business card depending on my goals and personality as a professional artist. 

More than that, Regina and her class always provided a validating, safe, and encouraging space for my classmates and me to learn and create."
