Snapshots from 12ELVE: Our 2025 Thesis Presentations!

MFA Products of Design Class of 2025

On May 7th, 2025, the twelfth cohort of MFA Products of Design graduates took the stage at the SVA Theatre in New York City to share their final thesis projects.

Surrounded by friends, family, faculty, and design professionals, the graduates presented a rich variety of work, from deeply personal investigations to expansive systems-level interventions. Topics this year included everything from reimagining gift-giving rituals and strengthening worker-led organizing to designing for third-shift workers and fostering connection for elderly immigrants.
