IED joins the 2026 National Portfolio Day series, offering prospective students portfolio feedback, admissions guidance and insights into creative study paths — in Miami and online.

IED is proud to participate in the 2026 National Portfolio Day (NPD) series — a key opportunity for prospective students to receive direct feedback on their portfolios, learn about creative pathways, and explore educational opportunities with leading design institutions. 

This year, IED representatives will be present at the following dates and formats: 

  • April 25, 2026 — Online 

  • May 9, 2026 — Online 

National Portfolio Day events are designed to support aspiring creatives as they prepare for higher education in design, art, fashion, communication and beyond. Attendees can present their work, ask questions about the application process, and connect one-to-one with admissions advisors from participating schools. 

What to Expect 

At each National Portfolio Day event, IED staff will: 

  • Offer personalised portfolio reviews with constructive, real-time feedback. 

  • Share insights into IED’s programme offerings, admissions criteria, and creative expectations. 

  • Provide guidance on how to strengthen applications and prepare for study in a global design environment. 

Whether you’re just beginning to develop your visual language, refining a finished collection, or exploring pathways into creative education, National Portfolio Day is a valuable step toward your creative future. 

 

How to Attend 

 

Registration details and event information — including times and format — are available on the official National Portfolio Day website.

We look forward to meeting prospective students in Miami and online, and to helping you take the next step in your creative journey.
