ALUMNI

I thought to myself, ‘I’m done with the digital world, I want to make things that help people in the real world.’

Titu Ayub’s artistic career started in technology and video game development, but his ambitions shifted abruptly when his computer suddenly crashed. 

 

With 14 years of his portfolio gone, Ayub began to question himself: If what he was creating truly existed in the world, shouldn’t it have some lasting value? If it could survive, shouldn’t it still be useful, even a hundred years from now?

 

Ayub started educating himself on industrial design, how to build things, and how apply graphic and 3D design. This began this life-long mission to build affordable electric boats and make them accessible to those who need it the most.

Our graduates are known both locally and internationally for their boundless ingenuity and intense curiosity. Alumni go on to have incredible careers—within and beyond the art world—as artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, administrators, academics, and creative professionals. Their paths may be different but there is one thing they all share, their lives were shaped by their time at NSCAD.
