2021 ID MFA Graduate Studio II: Play with Purpose
Each graduating MFA student was responsible for designing a collection of educational toys appropriate for children between the ages of birth and 8 years. Product aesthetics were defined by and matched to a company/brand of the student’s choosing. Once defined, students chose 1-3 products from their proposed collections to take through the prototyping process.
