How it looks. How it feels. How it works. Creating inspiring spaces that make the best possible use of available space is the core of interior design. When form and function come together in perfect symmetry, they transform an environment into a place that instills a deep sense of harmony for its inhabitants.

“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.

It [RMCAD] taught me a lot about being a designer and being a better thinker – being more well-rounded.

I wanted to immerse myself in an environment that would teach me, and that was what RMCAD was offering.
Watch Video >Class of 2016 / Game Art
I wanted to be a part of the pre-production that goes into game making-things like the animation and the concept work and all of the actual game building. That’s why I chose RMCAD, because it was really the only school that taught the art side of the game art program.
Class of 2016 / Fine Arts
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.
Class of 2017 / Art Education
I think what’s really rewarding about teaching is when you finally see a person’s face light up.
Class of 2004 / Animation
What’s really nice about the RMCAD community is that it is a community. We’re all good friends and we keep in contact. A lot of the people that I was here with are working in the industry, so that says how important those relationships are.
