Meet our MFA Design candidates for 2012. We asked them to answer the following:

1. What was noteworthy about your first year at MFAD?
2. What is your favorite NYC experience?
3. What was your favorite assignment was from first year?

Here are Maya Lee’s responses:

1. Meeting great people to learn, work, and enjoy this crazy ride with.

2. All I remember is a gorilla costume and some hula hoops.

3. Sagmeister’s “Touch a Person’s Heart” project where I created a 6′ wide pinata for a friend to release his stress on. After making arrangements with FedEx (they were aware of this special project), they refused to ship it at the last moment resulting in a long and late night drive to Syracuse, NY. Seeing my friend’s reaction, however, made it worth it.
