Student Life
Written by James Neufeld

IDEA School of Design welcomes back the Bachelor of Design graduating class of 2025, Cohort 2! We asked them why they chose their 3rd-year concentration and wish them success as they embark on their 3rd year.

“I decided to go the open route so I could polish my illustrative skills while learning all I could within the interactive field. Ideally, I would love to be able to integrate both into my work and projects.”
— Ari Thompson
“When the time rolled around to choose what concentration I would like to pursue, I ultimately chose the illustration concentration. I have always loved creating pieces that tell a story, and illustration allows me to do so visually.”
— P. Verdon
