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.

Class of 2021 / Fashion Design

What I love a lot about RMCAD is that they definitely prepared you for a lot of things.

Class of 2021 / Fashion Design

What I love most is that I got to do it. I was an online student and if it wasn’t for the online program, I don’t think I would have been able to do this.

Class of 2021 / Fashion Design

I am influenced by everything… I think that I can relate to anything and anybody. So, I’m always willing to do something different.

Class of 2017 / Game Art

RMCAD played an important step in my artistic development and my career. My instructors at RMCAD taught me the skills and software I use on a daily basis in my profession. Alumni Services helped me get into contact with industry professionals helping me get my start in game art.

Class of 2019 / Fashion Design

I design for the powerful woman who wears garments with more coverage to inspire her.

Class of 2019 / Fashion Design

My only advice is: be confident and no matter what mistakes you made just keep going and you will go through it.

Class of 2019 / Fashion Design

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.

Class of 2019 / Fashion Design

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.

Class of 2019 / Fashion Design

I’m proud to be a RMCAD graduate because there’s so many amazing staff here. They support you, challenge you and really push you to get where you need to be.

Class of 2018 / Fine Arts

RMCAD gave me the space to experiment. All of the instructors I had let me take not only what I wanted but what I needed from the class I was in.

Class of 2006 / Fine Arts

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.

Class of 2003 / Fine Arts, Illustration, Illustrative Design

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.

Class of 2017 / Photography

“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.”

Class of 2015 / Photography

My message is to be a humanitarian, to pull our moral imagination back to center.

Class of 2006 / Interior Design

A lot of my technical experience is 100% Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.

Class of 2002 / Interior Design

Rocky Mountain was one of the first colleges I looked at ­– loved the program, loved the area, and I never looked back.

Class of 2003 / Illustration

There is a lot I learned at RMCAD that I use in my career every day.

Class of 2010 / Illustration

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.

Class of 1988 / Graphic Design, Illustrative Design

You can come back here and know they’re going to have the curriculum and programs you need to succeed.

Class of 2003 / Graphic Design, Illustrative Design

I think often of my foundation work at RMCAD. Some of those lessons stay with me today.

Class of 2012 / Graphic Design, Illustrative Design

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

Class of 2012 / Graphic Design, Illustrative Design

I wanted to immerse myself in an environment that would teach me, and that was what RMCAD was offering.

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.
