What some of our students say about the
benefits of their Pyramind experience
The relationships I gained through this school were incredible and vital. I got my internship opportunity with DoubleFine through Pyramind and was mentored by the award-winning Game Audio Director, Emily Ridgway. I also got to work beside one of the best sound designers, Brian Min, all under the roof of video game icon, Tim Schafer.. Now I’m the Audio Director!

What some of our students say about the
benefits of their Pyramind experience
“Some of the most important things I learned at Pyramind that I use the most are game audio implementation and game audio technology… I had started learning programing on my own to supplement the classes and that on top of the classes that taught me how to get started in Unity, how to put audio into a level and mix in game was really useful. Just after graduating, Pyramind got me an interview with Nick Gallant, Audio Director at Disney Interactive and that was my first job out of school”
