OUTCOMES
Where YG Alumni Go & What They Build
Many parents look for an art school in Vancouver because their child loves to draw. What they don't expect is what actually happens here.
YG students leave with more than a portfolio. They develop a way of thinking that scales across disciplines, careers, and the challenges they'll face.
But a philosophy only earns its place if it produces real outcomes.
Young Guns students leave with more than a portfolio. They develop a way of thinking that scales across disciplines, careers, and the challenges they'll face.
But a philosophy only earns its place if it produces real outcomes.
Below are real YG alumni and the paths they have built as founders, researchers, designers, and creative leaders operating at the highest levels of their fields.
Different careers. Different personalities. One shared foundation.
The ability to think from first principles, solve problems others can't frame, and create work that couldn't have come from anyone else.
"What we're really doing here isn't portfolio prep. It's helping a young person look inward, get honest about what drives them, and find the clearest path toward the life they actually want to live. The portfolio is evidence of that clarity."
— Pete Young
