Information Session
National Portfolio Day with MFA Design for Social Innovation
Meet Miya Osaki, designer, educator, and Chair of MFA Design for Social Innovation at New York City National Portfolio Day. Whether you’re interested in feedback or just have questions about your graduate degree, drop by the portfolio review session and chat with Osaki.
What to prepare:
If you don’t feel like you have a full portfolio of work to show, you can still meet to ask questions and get info on MFA Design for Social Innovation (MFA DSI) and the School of Visual Arts. For MFA DSI, you have a choice of submitting a portfolio, a case study that examines a project, or a proposal for a research project as a part of the application process which we hope will enable you to share your strengths in a variety of ways.
The SVA portfolio review is a great opportunity to receive helpful feedback on your work before you submit your official portfolio submission with your graduate application. Take digital photos of any physical pieces and gather 10-15 images into a multipage PDF in preparation for the event. We recommend preparing recent work or pieces that you feel best represent your technical and creative ability.
Priority deadline is January 15, 2026. Apply to MFA DSI Today.
Location: Parsons School of Design, The New School, 63 5th Avenue, NY, NY 10003
