Class of 2021 / Interior Design

A lot of my professors were really good at giving us hands-on experience and I think it is really important that our professors have the experience and know what the field is actually like. My RMCAD education really helped me know how the design process really works from start to finish.

My best advice to Veterans that want to pursue their art degree is just to go for it! It’s kind of intimidating because art school is a whole different world and it kind of pushes you out of your comfort zone, but it’s all worth it!

We were all there to help challenge and push each other, because as this program grows and progresses.

What I love most about being a Fashion Design student at RMCAD is that it’s been a humbling experience to meet other creatives even outside the fashion program. I think we have a lot of world class creatives.

Class of 2021 / Fashion Design

For incoming students to RMCAD and the Fashion Department, I give the advice of: say yes.  Say yes to every opportunity that you can get.  Go for it even if its overwhelming and then also ask questions and be bold.  Ask if you can do the crazy things.  They will say yes.

This is my final hoorah so it’s very important that this kind of shows who I am as a designer and what my aesthetic and who I am most importantly.

What makes me proud to be a RMCAD graduate is the fact that I’ve been challenged so incredibly much here and that it’s actually been applicable outside of RMCAD.

Ten years later I’ve developed a skill from my professor’s random act of kindness. That little bottle was the start of me dripping paint.

RMCAD was really influential for me, the teachers I had were extremely impactful and I still keep in touch with them. I think a smaller school like RMCAD can be really beneficial in terms of making connections and keeping those connections.

“RMCAD did the biggest thing for me that every artist needs to experience—it checked my ego…you’re always going to learn, and someone always has something to teach you.”

RMCAD was great because it gives you a guideline for how to work in teams.  How to create artwork for someone else, not just yourself.

That moment was when everybody started to understand my work without me having to say anything, that was a moment where I started to feel like I was connecting with something.
