Valence Collective · Intake

Everything we need. One place. Once.

We're building the Valence site and you're on it. This form gathers your bio, headshot, resume, client history, and a short interview in your own words. Your answers save in this browser as you go, so you can leave and come back. Budget 25 to 40 minutes. Submit once at the end.

Who you are

02 / 08

Headshot

Headshots on the site run in black and white. The preview shows you how yours will read. What works: natural light, plain background, head and shoulders, looking at camera, no heavy filters. Send the largest original you have, at least 1500px on the short side. Phone photos are fine if they're sharp.

Optional for applicants. If we work together it goes on the site in black and white, so the preview shows how it will read.
