School for Advanced Digital Technology

In my role, no day is the same as the last because of the huge variety in the work that I do. One week I am developing code for our website, and the next I am working in three dimensions using VR glasses. I can keep many different skills – skills I originally began building at SAIT – sharpened as I advance in my career.

I came to SAIT with an interest in photography. Over the course of my program, I was exposed to many different digital tools allowing me to translate this interest into a clear vision for my career. I’m now a small business owner.

Digital technologies are redefining – and disrupting – the world of art. Things like artificial intelligence are performing tasks that a human would have done ten or twenty years ago. At SAIT, I’m learning how to be part of this disruption and how it can shape new opportunities I come across in the future.

All of the services and programs at SAIT come together to make me feel like I am truly supported as a student. From the cultural supports at Chinook Lodge to the academic supports to the opportunities for financial resources to help complete my studies, I have met so many different groups and people willing to help.

The hands-on learning at SAIT allowed me to be exposed to everything from the Adobe suite of programs to web design to coding – in each of these experiences, I gained confidence in my ability to understand and apply new technologies as I chart my own career course.
