The Art and Design program at AU gave me the unique experience of being developed not only in my skills as an artist/designer, but also personally as a creative individual and a follower of Christ. 

More than just a strong academic program, I experienced a community where I was encouraged to collaborate closely with classmates and professors, I was challenged to expand in my ways of thinking and creating, and I was inspired to embed my faith into every creative endeavor — all for the purpose of learning how to impact the spaces I enter for good.
