Partner with MIAD

When Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport needed a more colorful, modern and user-friendly map for thousands of passengers to use daily, they turned to MIAD. The MIAD Lubar Innovation Center connected the Milwaukee Airport to then Communication Design student Sophie Yufa to design the new map. Today, the map Sophie designed helps people navigate the most-visited building in Milwaukee. 

The Milwaukee Airport is one of many community organizations and businesses MIAD partners with in the Milwaukee area.

Projects are done on your schedule and can start anytime throughout the year. Students are paid for their work.
  3. Sponsor a class project. Companies can partner with MIAD on a project students complete in the fall or spring academic semester. You can work with a faculty member and tap into the talent of an entire class, from 20 to 120 students, depending on the class size. Sponsored projects allow you to choose from the best student designs.
