WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

"Hi there! My name is Antoine Ladouceur and Jarett was my instructor at the Art Institute of Vancouver. Boy was I lucky to have him! If I'm working as a Level Designer today it's definitely because of his incredible support and advice. Having Jarett as an instructor was a little bit like opening a window onto the entire spectrum of game development. I felt like not only did I learn how to make good game design choices, but also how those choices would affect development overall. I learned what its like to work in a professional game development team and how to structure my work to fit well in that framework. --Overall, my first day on the job felt quite easy from everything I had learned from Jarett. He is a terrific instructor, straight to the point and very passionate about what he does and it's definitely contagious."

- Antoine Ladouceur, Jr. Level Designer, Compulsion Games"

"Many of the choices I make as a Level Designer to improve my work came from advice that Jarett gave me during my courses. With his guidance and in-depth feedback, I was able to create a portfolio that really allowed me showcase who I was and what I could offer to the industry. Jarett is extremely passionate about what he does. He can always recognize when someone has potential and he'll always do his best to make sure that potential flourishes, even if it means building from the ground up. Jarett always manages to inspire creativity and hard work and I can without a doubt say I was extremely fortunate to have him as my instructor."
