Careers at the studio
We hire slowly and document decisions. Below is how a typical instructional hire experiences their first ninety days—three sections, one diagram.
Curriculum map
Month one pairs you with a faculty lead to shadow ink-room briefings and annotate evaluation cards. Month two assigns two lab sections where you own rubrics but not grading authority. Month three asks for a capstone rehearsal with operations coordinators scoring clarity, not charisma.
- Weekly critique with rotating industry advisors.
- Documentation pass every Friday—no exceptions.
- JP/EN parity review for any public-facing text.

Mentor office hours
Faculty leads publish office hours as calendar holds—not vague “DM me” promises. Lab instructors hold bench hours in thirty-minute slices so participants can book without fearing a two-hour unstructured call. Operations coordinators host fifteen-minute logistics windows for travel, dietary, and accessibility needs.
Capstone delivery
Capstones are not demos. You submit a witness folder: prompts, refusal logs, evaluation cards, and a two-page memo describing tradeoffs your org rejected. Industry advisors score the memo for clarity; faculty score the artifacts for reproducibility.
