The hiring process can be complicated with so many candidates to choose from. At the IDEA Distillery, we understand that you have discerning tastes and demanding schedules. That’s why our graduates have been carefully selected and crafted over the course of our intensive, 3-year career based program. We’ve focused our conceptual abilities and refined our technical skills.

Come sample our 30 unique spirits, all in a single shot.

The IDEA program is a highly regarded 3-year diploma in illustration and design. One of IDEA’s strengths is its unique dual curriculum in design and illustration. Another is its faculty, most of whom are professionals working in the industry. The curriculum is current with today’s industry standards, and the graduates are second to none when it comes to being ready to move into the professional world.

In 2014 the IDEA program began transitioning to a four year Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication. All the qualities that have made the IDEA program and its graduates a success will remain, enriched by additional opportunities for more in-depth study.
