Alumni Testimonials

MDM gave me the support and opportunity to find my place within the digital media industry; it’s more than just a program where you gain knowledge but a place where you gain the confidence to pursue your own ideas and acquire the tools to bring those ideas to life be they technical or industry skills. MDM gave me the foundation to start companies, raise financing, and work with world class clients.

Ryan Nadel, President at 8 Leaf Digital Productions Inc., Partner & Creative Director at Zeroes 2 Heroes Media, Executive Vice President at 20 Year Media Corp.
My two years at the MDM have shaped me in more ways than ever imagined. It gave me a reason to step outside my creative comfort zone and surround myself with new ideas, technologies and most importantly with a group of wonderful and immensely talented people.

During the Master of Digital Media I learned about video game design, website development, 3D & 2D arts, programming, project management and sound. Now as an audio designer at Microsoft - Black Tusk Studios, I collaborate with level designers, animators, programmers and producers.
