As Columbus College of Art & Design grads know, a creative career comes in many forms. Our alumni have gone on to work in places large and small — as fine artists, craftspeople, teachers, designers, art preparators, animators, and directors — and many have branched out on their own as freelancers, where they’ve found the opportunity to work where they want, for whom they want, to explore the world and their medium.

We recently spoke with alumni who have found success in the freelance world, who shared their favorite works of their own creation and gave us the lowdown on what they’re up to now.
