Here we are, together, in very challenging times – facing a global health crisis while learning how to use new tools to connect and learn online.

As developing artists and designers at Otis College of Art and Design, we solve problems every day in our making practices. We know how to do this. We know how to pivot, adapt and innovate.

We are in this together. You are not alone. You’ll find support, encouragement and motivation from every part of the college – including your faculty and your peers.

Can we practice the skills we’ve been developing all along – empathy, observation, brainstorming, sketching, iterating, prototyping, testing, making, thinking, writing - to rise above the difficulty presented by the coronavirus, complete the semester successfully, and very likely surprise ourselves with the results?

Yes we can.

This website is designed to answer your questions and get you ready for this new experience.
