Game Design and Visual Art
Director of Development at Rad Magpie in Burlington, VT
I was able to pick three different specializations: Creative Writing, Game Design, and Visual Art. In addition to that, I also have a minor in Public Relations. My interests are all over the board, which has been complemented by the curriculum here at Champlain. I’m able to study everything I’m interested in, and I get to bring it all together in my coursework.
The Creative Media major is really unique in that you get to pick the specializations that you are really passionate about. It’s definitely not the sort of program where you’re restricted to just one thing.
Within the Creative Media major, there are a lot of specific classes where you work on your portfolio and professional development. That has been one of the most beneficial facets of the Creative Media major for me. It helped me to collect my art and my work into a presentable, professional portfolio. Creative Media classes helped me to clearly understand how my work can be applicable to a career.
I think the arts community in Burlington is truly unparalleled. I come from a place where there isn’t a whole lot of artist engagement in the community, so coming to Burlington, where there are art galleries I can visit, is amazing. There are also events like the South End Art Hop, which provides opportunities to network with local artists. It’s really empowering for me, knowing that there’s so much out there, even within my own community.
I also love to visit the different coffee shops in Burlington. I know that’s a weird favorite thing because there are coffee shops everywhere, but here in Burlington they have their own vibe. It’s great to go and study in a coffee shop, and there are so many options.
