What to prepare

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. Please take digital photos of any physical pieces and gather 10-15 images into a multipage PDF in preparation for the event. We recommend showing us recent work or pieces that you feel best represent your technical and creative ability. Even 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 and SVA.
