Visits to design studios, production sites, and museums get you up close to the design process. Collaborations with campus and community partners as project clients provide you with hands-on, real-world design experience in guided and supportive scenarios – equipping you with an understanding of the interpersonal aspects of the design process too.

Your Capstone portfolio, a culmination of your design work at Colby-Sawyer, serves as your professional portfolio when you graduate – visually demonstrating your readiness for entry-level design jobs and/or graduate school.
