We Listen First. Then We Help You Speak.
TAE is a creative admissions consultancy founded by artists, built for artists. We mentor students applying to top art and design schools across the world — with a focus on concept, clarity, and care.

Our Ethos
We’re Not Just Preparing Portfolios — We’re Building Practice.
We don’t believe in ‘perfect’ portfolios.
We believe in reflective practice, risk-taking, strong ideas, and brave visual storytelling.
We’re not agents. We’re artists. And we care about your work — not just your outcome.
🫱🏽🫲🏽 Whether you're applying to RISD, UAL, SVA, or somewhere else — we’re here to help you think clearly, make with intention, and apply with confidence.

Why We Started
Because Creative Students Deserve Better Guidance
Most college consultants don’t understand creative work.
Most art coaching centers don’t understand admissions.
TAE exists to bridge that gap — to offer creative, rigorous, emotionally intelligent support to students who think differently.
📁 We work with students applying to:
-
Fine Art
-
Graphic Design
-
Film & Animation
-
Creative Writing
-
Photography
-
Fashion
-
Interdisciplinary & Experimental programs

Meet the Founder
Led by an Artist Who’s Been There
TAE was founded by Madhulika Mohan — an artist, writer, and mentor.
She’s helped students get into RISD, UAL, Parsons, SVA, NID, and more — but more importantly, she’s helped them understand their work, their direction, and their potential.
Her philosophy: every artist needs a thinking partner.
