Your career starts the day you start at M.AD. That's not just a line—it's how we operate.
Here, you'll be challenged. You'll have to work hard. Our standards are high...because the standards of your future employers and clients will be to.
Now here's the good news: it's all fun as hell. Hard work is worth it when you're creating real-world projects (often for real clients) and collaborating with other world-class creatives on a daily basis. Hard work is inspiring when you're doing it under the watchful instruction of current indsutry professionals, who want to see you produce the brilliant output you're capable of.
In a nutshell, M.AD isn't like other schools. And that's a good thing. In fact, it just might be why our students have won 1,000+ industry awards.

Senior Vice President, Brand User Experience at Oracle
“The school introduced me to my first ever job in tech (Microsoft). At the time, I didn’t even know that User Experience (UX) design was even a thing. I wouldn’t have survived my first year in the real world without the confidence that I built in the hundreds of hours in rigorous critiques in school.”
Senior Experience Design Lead at Adobe
It is crazy to be considered a small part of web design history...it feels like just yesterday I was walking into Hank ['s office asking permission to make a design portfolio website.

Junior Designer at Principle
