Services & Support
Digital Project Consultation
We offer hands-on support and feedback at all stages of your digital projects: planning, development, and revision. You can make an appointment for peer tutoring or drop in anytime during our standard operating hours to use the workspace and equipment.
All of our Digital Studio technicians can offer general feedback on projects. We also have areas of interest and programs that we work with more frequently. For help with a specific program, email a technician at dds@pc.fsu.edu to schedule a personalized appointment, or walk in and wait for the next available specialist.
Our consultants can help you:
- Provide feedback on digital project content and design
- Facilitate collaboration ideas for group projects and presentations
- Explain the interface of a digital design program
Just need a space to work? Anyone who visits the Digital Design Studio is not required to work with a technician. The space is open for all FSU students, faculty, or staff who prefer to work independently.
Academic Peer Tutoring
Whether you are stuck on a specific problem or need help writing a paper, peer tutors are here to help. Student tutoring allows you the ease of talking with a classmate with the comfort of knowing they have been recommended by faculty.
Please speak with our academic advising team at advising@pc.fsu.edu or see our Peer Tutoring webpage for more details on scheduling a tutor.

Our History
Established in 2016 through an FSU Student Technology Fee grant, the Digital Design Studio (DDS) was created to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world digital execution. Modeled after successful digital hubs on the FSU Tallahassee campus, our studio provides cutting-edge hardware, software, and large-format printing capabilities to all majors.
From helping English students compose multimodal media projects to allowing engineering and public safety students to build 3D prototypes and professional presentation graphics, the DDS continues to expand our technology to make FSU Panama City graduates highly competitive and marketable in the modern workforce.
