College in San Francisco, CA
The Academy of Art University was set up in San Francisco in 1929 by Richard S. Stephens, a fine art painter who had accepted the position of Creative Director for Sunset Magazine. Assisted by his wife, Mrs. Clara Stephens, he opened the new school in a rented loft at 215 Kearny Street to teach advertising art. In a several years, a distinguished faculty of practicing art and design specialists was assembled and the school's philosophy was formulated: hire founded specialists to teach future specialists.

My classmates and I have felt that our education has proven to be invaluable as we step into the profession. The program prepared us for a seamless transition between my education and career. I am so thankful for the support from my faculty in and outside the classroom. I met a senior design recruiter from Adidas after my first Academy of Art University runway show in San Francisco.
