Isabel gets into RSID

This is the first time isabel is actually home with us in the afternoon so she can share with us live the decision from RISD - Rhode Island school of Design.  We are glad we could capture her excitement.  So proud of her!

RISD is widely considered one of the top institutions in the world for art and design—often described as the "Harvard of art and design." Admission is highly competitive, and the program is known for its rigor. The training goes far beyond traditional art; it emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving.

Many graduates go on to careers in technology and business, working in areas like product design and user experience (UX/UI), with opportunities at leading companies. The career paths are broad and continue to grow as design plays an increasingly important role across industries.

RISD is also located next to Brown University, and students have access to cross-registration, which adds another strong academic dimension to the experience.

That said, Isabel is still exploring her options. She is also considering the broader experience of a traditional university, so we'll be taking the time to evaluate what environment will be the best fit for her.

Regardless of where she ultimately decides to go, this acceptance is a meaningful recognition of her creativity, discipline, and ability to bring ideas to life.
