Real-world work, real fun
Get ready to be a creative professional! The Design Center is Ringling College’s in-house design studio where students and professionals work side by side to create top-tier designs for the College and community.
Design Center students meet with clients, make presentations, and work under deadlines. You’ll manage projects from concept to completion, work within budgets, and learn about estimating and production, all essential skills for a professional creative.
