Training from top pros in UX, design, advertising, marketing communications and letterpress

I want to be a more productive human.

Why SVC?
Humans teach here.

If that doesn’t impress you, maybe we should mention that these are talented humans. Humans who have become the best at what they do in top companies here and around the world.

At SVC, these living, breathing humans will stand in front of you—or to the side of you if they choose—and share how they got from Point A to Point-where-they-are-today.

Oh. And these talented humans will be teaching in our beautifully renovated building. We’d say this building was designed and painted by humans as well, but that’d probably be overkill.

It's pronounced "Cope-Ah-SEE-no," but you can call him Jim.

When he's not running his award-winning agency, thinking up Mariners or Seattle Children's Hospital TV spots, or being the nicest guy in advertising, Jim is teaching at SVC. He's another industry leader who somehow finds time to share his brainpower here.

I want to know if you can eat a Wayzgoose.

What's a Wayzgoose? The answer will be revealed on 9/19.

The origin of the word is fuzzy, as it could be a misspelling from Middle English for “harvest goose.” There will be no roast goose at SVC’s free 14th annual Wayzgoose, but frivolity will be in abundance as we celebrate all things letterpress.
