Have you always had a passion for art and design?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve&nbsp;always had a passion for art and design;&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;been a part of me since childhood.&nbsp;I was the kid constantly sketching, designing characters, experimenting with&nbsp;painting&nbsp;and losing myself in all types of art media. That early fascination with creativity naturally led me to study at SCAD, where I deepened my understanding of design and storytelling. During my time there, I discovered how powerful art can be as a tool for connection and communication. That foundation has guided me throughout my career in digital media and education, helping others bring their imaginative worlds to life through animation and game development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. What inspired you to start teaching at&nbsp;WilmU?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching at&nbsp;WilmU&nbsp;felt like the perfect way to connect everything I love: creating,&nbsp;mentoring&nbsp;and building pathways into real careers. The&nbsp;University\u2019s strong focus on practical, career\u2011relevant education aligns perfectly with the way I work in industry and in my own studio.&nbsp;My journey to the University&nbsp;actually started&nbsp;back in 2014 when&nbsp;Dr. (Edward)&nbsp;Guthrie encouraged me to join as an adjunct.&nbsp;He\u2019d&nbsp;seen the passion I had for teaching while I was helping him improve his golf game, and he believed that same energy could inspire students.&nbsp;That moment&nbsp;opened a door for me to design courses that mirror real production pipelines and to help students see a clear line from classroom projects to professional opportunities in animation, game&nbsp;design&nbsp;and digital media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. What makes&nbsp;WilmU\u2019s&nbsp;Animation and 3D and Game Design and Development programs unique?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WilmU\u2019s&nbsp;Animation and 3D and Game Design and Development programs are unique because they are built as interdisciplinary, production\u2011style experiences rather than isolated art or coding tracks. Students work across 2D, 3D, game engines,&nbsp;video&nbsp;and interactive design, so they&nbsp;graduate&nbsp;understanding the whole pipeline,&nbsp;from concept to final playable or animated piece. The programs are also highly flexible and career&nbsp;focused, with affordable tuition, multiple course formats, embedded certificates&nbsp;and strong experiential learning options like internships and project\u2011based work with real clients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide wu-blockquote-row is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote wu-blockquote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cProgress comes from focused practice, not overnight success.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 Robert Passarelli<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. How is the job market for animation and digital art evolving, and what can students do to best prepare?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The job market for animation, games and digital art is expanding beyond entertainment into health&nbsp;care, education, architecture,&nbsp;simulation&nbsp;and training as more industries adopt game engines,&nbsp;visualization&nbsp;and interactive experiences. Studios and employers now look for artists and designers who can move comfortably between tools, collaborate across&nbsp;disciplinesand adapt as technology changes. Students can best prepare by building a strong, focused portfolio; learning industry\u2011standard software; gaining experience in game engines and 3D; and taking advantage of internships, experiential&nbsp;learning&nbsp;and real\u2011world projects while they are still in school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. You help&nbsp;WilmU&nbsp;students share their love of gaming with patients at Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital. Could you tell us about that initiative?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gamersoutreach.org\/player-2-volunteers-needed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Player 2<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital initiative is about using games and interactive technology to bring some normalcy, connection and joy to kids who are in the hospital. Students and faculty from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/technology\/indext.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">College of Business and Technology<\/a>&nbsp;share their love of gaming by helping set up systems, playing with patients,&nbsp;and supporting experiences that keep kids engaged, moving&nbsp;and connected to family and friends. For our students, it is a powerful way to see how game design and technology skills can support child life,&nbsp;therapy&nbsp;and mental health, not just entertainment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. Before joining&nbsp;WilmU, you had a career as a professional golfer. How did that experience enrich your teaching?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My background as a PGA Professional shaped how I teach in ways that go far beyond the sport. Golf demands patience,&nbsp;discipline&nbsp;and the ability to handle pressure and failure,&nbsp;skills&nbsp;that translate directly to creative work, where projects are iterative and critique&nbsp;is&nbsp;constant. In the classroom and studio, that experience helps me coach students through the long haul: breaking big goals into small, consistent improvements, staying calm under&nbsp;deadlines&nbsp;and understanding that progress comes from focused practice, not overnight success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. Besides golf, what do you like to do in your spare time?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of golf and teaching, some of my spare time still revolves around creating. I run the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/madkrakentattoo\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mad Kraken Tattoo Studio<\/a>&nbsp;in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;there that I spend a lot of time drawing,&nbsp;designing&nbsp;and collaborating with clients on custom pieces, which keeps my illustration and design skills sharp. I also enjoy gaming,&nbsp;films&nbsp;and other visual media&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;not just for fun but as ongoing research into storytelling,&nbsp;style&nbsp;and player experience that I bring back to the classroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. What do you love about&nbsp;WilmU?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What stands out most about&nbsp;WilmU&nbsp;is how&nbsp;student\u2011centered and practical the culture is. The programs are designed to meet students where they are&nbsp;through flexible scheduling, affordable&nbsp;tuition&nbsp;and clear pathways from coursework to&nbsp;careers,&nbsp;so education feels accessible and purposeful. In the College of Business and Technology specifically, there is a collaborative, experimental spirit:&nbsp;Faculty and students work together on real\u2011world projects, community&nbsp;partnerships&nbsp;and emerging technologies, which makes the environment feel more like a creative studio than a traditional lecture hall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13{margin-top:0em;}.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:center;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:center;}.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13{border-top:1px solid #eeeeee;border-right:1px solid #eeeeee;border-bottom:1px solid #eeeeee;}.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13{border-top:1px solid #eeeeee;border-right:1px solid #eeeeee;border-bottom:1px solid #eeeeee;}}@media all and (max-width: 991px){.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id19317_71826e-13{border-top:1px solid #eeeeee;border-right:1px solid #eeeeee;border-bottom:1px solid #eeeeee;}}.wu-text-col,.wu-img-col {\tmin-height: 114px;}.wu-text-col &gt;
