A Professional Design Ecosystem Starting September 2026.

Applications are open!

E T H O S

We train designers, not just painters. The industry no longer needs 'brute force' production assets, it needs high-level problem solvers, studios need artists who can take a simple brief and elevate it into a vision that actively helps sell the project. The traditional entry-level role has completely changed, today, the industry demands artists who combine impeccable taste with the technical ability to actually build the project. Here is how we do it.

1️⃣ Portfolio Review: Submit your portfolio and receive a definitive eligibility decision in just 48 hours. We respect your time.

2️⃣ The Art Test: A flexible 14-Day Challenge. You choose your start date. We test your ability to interpret a brief, not just your rendering speed.

Why speed matters: We accept qualified students on a rolling basis as they pass the Art Test. We do not wait for a specific deadline to fill the class. We strongly advise starting the process early.
