Sonia Nicolson | Chartered Architect & Former University Lecturer helping students and women in design master hand drawing and build creative careers.
Guidance, Mentorship & Design Packages
I’m Sonia Nicolson, a Chartered Architect and Former University Lecturer based in Reykjavík, Iceland, supporting students, creatives, and women in design to build confidence, strengthen their portfolios, and develop creative careers rooted in purpose and freedom.
My services are designed to meet you where you are in your journey, whether you’re preparing a university architecture portfolio, returning to your creative roots, or building a design business that truly works for your life. Through my Power Hour and Creative Confidence Coaching, I help you find clarity, overcome self-doubt, and take bold, confident steps forward. The Portfolio Confidence Review™ gives tailored, in-depth feedback to elevate your work and help you stand out in applications or interviews.
If you’re seeking professional design expertise, the Virtual Design Package and Consultation Packages offer creative support for architectural or interior design projects, while the Architectural Survey (Iceland) and Hand-Drawn Interior & Architecture Package bring a personal, crafted touch to every drawing.
For women in architecture and design, my Mentorship Programme provides guidance, accountability, and real-world insight into building a sustainable, balanced creative career.
Each service is designed to combine architectural knowledge with creativity, confidence, and heart - helping you grow the skills, mindset, and vision to design and build a life you love.
