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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which service is right for me?

If you’re unsure where to start, I recommend beginning with a foundational course or free resource. Portfolio reviews and mentoring are best once you’re clear on your goals or preparing for a specific next step.

What is your refund policy?

Artwork: Returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days. Buyers are responsible for return postage costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.

Courses, Mentoring, Consulting, Portfolio Reviews, Coaching, and Retreats: Due to the nature of these services, no refunds are offered.

How can I contact you regarding working together?

Feel free to contact me through DM @sonianicolson or email me at hello@sonianicolson.com. I’m open to collaborations that align with my work in architecture, drawing, and education, particularly with values-aligned individuals and brands.

Do you take on interns or assistants?

At the moment, I’m not taking on interns or assistants. You’re welcome to email me and I can keep your details on file if opportunities open up in the future.
