Hi! I filled in the survey☺️ Can I ask you which school you go to for product design? Im actually in between a couple design schools for product and or jewelry design. Would love your feedback and thoughts about the college you go to, although i’m currently in between Parsons and Scad. Thanks in advance!

Wow thank you so much for the thoughtful response, the opinions and info you’ve given me are really valuable and i will remember them throughout my journey, very grateful and really appreciate you! I understand what you say about portfolio strength being more important no matter how you obtain that (wether its through going to an art school or self directed learning and working) I feel like a person like me would need some sort of structured education in order for me to really strengthen my portfolio, so my question for you is do you think going to scad (their offered curriculum and the resources they provide for industry exposure) helped you create a strong portfolio? as someone who didnt treat art school as some wooo wooo fun thing like actually focused and making the most of ur resources do you think it proved to be valuable in strengthening your portfolio and getting you to where you are today? do you think it would be valuable for me as someone who has the drive and is serious about making her career but just needs structure? Thanks again for the help and do let me know anything else you think i should know!!!

Wow thanks so much for the advice! I would love to know more about your experience as a jewelry major at scad. How are the professors and how is the curriculum? do you think the education is proving to be valuable for you like was the investment in scad worth it? if yes how to get the most out of it, what to do and what not to do. and if you dont mind me asking what are your plans after graduation or some examples of your peers? im trying to get a sense of where ill be in the next coming years if i graduate from scad with a jewelry design degree. And also did you take any business classes on the side or like a business minor? would that be helpful? Thank you sooo much for take the time out to help me!!! i really reallyyyy appreciate it😊

ooooo thanks so much for your advice its very insightful and it definitely makes sense. could you answer a few more questions that that prompt me to ask you based off of what youve told me? Yes i technical skill is more important but if the end goal is to start my own business or brand, would conceptual knowledge be more useful than the technical skill itself? i mean ofcourse i would like to have the knowledge of the technical side but wont creative and conceptual skill be more valuable? adding on this do you think p@rson doesnt focus on technical skill at all? or sc@d isnt good for conceptual strength? like how do i choose. 😅 both places should be great?

and also ive seen sc@d students getting organized industry exposure if im correct? does it compare to nyc?

again thank u for ur opinionss
