Program Overview: What is Character Design?
Character Design gives your team a structured path to design memorable characters for games and media. Across 6 modules and 23 hours, employees build the Character Design skills that move daily performance, from foundations to a capstone lab that mirrors real work.
An expert instructor leads every session, blending concept delivery with hands-on labs so the team learns by doing. Content is tailored to your environment: we focus on the Character Design workflows, challenges, and tools your people meet in day-to-day work, and adjust depth for beginner to advanced participants.
