MEET THE CREATORS

2027 + Fashion Design

Owner of S.Simas Designs

I want to share the value of handmade products and the care that goes into creating them. In a world where so many things are quickly made and replaced, I want my work to reflect the time, attention, and craftsmanship behind the things we use and love. Each piece is thoughtfully made to feel personal, meaningful, and worth holding onto.

2026 + Environmental Science

Owner of Keystone Braceletz

The main message that I hope to spread through my jewelry is that of happiness! One piece of jewelry can spread so much love and happiness to different people because we all have our own story to tell and my work can help to connect people uniquely and specially.

2027 + Marine Sciences

Owner of Turtle Cove Crochets

Portraying threatened marine species as adorable plushies will raise awareness for their protection, all while bringing joy and whimsy to my community. 

2028 + Marine Science and Art & Design Minor

Owner of Coastal Cullers

I created Coastal Cullers to bring my love for the coast into my artwork and share it with others. I believe that anyone deserves to have a piece of the ocean with them no matter how far they are from it.

2028 + Horticultural Science Major and Spanish Minor

Owner of Sweet Pia Cottage

Starting this business as a student has been a challenge, but it has given me motivation to network, expand my hobbies, and foster my creativity amidst class assignments. This campus has greatly helped me to start this business by giving me all the resources necessary and countless opportunities to grow. 

2029 + Fashion and Textile Design

Owner of Whaleworks Crochet

Bringing joy and maybe even a sense of childlike wonder is what I hope to bring to others. Sharing the warmth of these cozy creatures is essential to Whaleworks Crochet.

2028 + Graphic Design and Graphic Communications Minor

Owner of Sunburn Art

My ultimate goal is to get better at my craft and skill. With Student-Made, I can be pushed to grow further as both an artist and a business owner.

2029 + Master of Landscape Architecture

Owner of Chlodoughcreations

I just want to spread happiness through my art! I love making and sharing it with others!

2027 + Animal Science

Owner of Forgotton Fox Art

I want to make beautiful art that is accessible to a large audience. I don’t want financial limitations from stopping someone from having a memento of a beloved pet, or a gift to give to a loved one.

2030 + Business Administration, Concentration in Entrepreneurship

Owner of LoveLivesHereCo

Through my business, I hope to send the message that not only is everything made with love, but also that you are loved. Everyone is worthy of love and deserves to know and feel that love. I hope my products can be a reminder of that.

2030 + Business Administration and International Business

Owner of Twizzy’s Cross Stitch

The most rewarding part has definitely been the smiles I get when I give someone their product, and the most challenging part has been the time it takes to make these cross-stitches.

2029 + Biomedical Engineering

I hope to bring a sense of joy and creativity to people through my art. I want my pieces to make people smile and add a personal, handmade touch to their everyday lives.

2027 + Applied Mathematics Major and Entomology Minor

I hope to give people a pop of color and uniqueness in their lives. Having a beaded bouquet of flowers in my house always makes my day brighter, and I would be so glad to know that I could give some of that joy to others.

2027 + Biological Sciences

Owner of Moon Bloom Arts

I hope to remind people that you can never be “bad” at art, creativity runs through all of us! My goal is for my pieces to make people smile and maybe inspire them to create something of their own.

2030 + Textile Design

I love being able to take all the ideas I have in my head and turn them into something tangible that I can then share with others. Being able to translate all the wack ideas floating around in my noggin into something someone can hold and experience is very rewarding.

2028 + Computer Science & Business Analytics Major and Data Science Minor

Owner of L. Ganta

I just want people to feel happy when they use my stuff. Like I want a tote bag to not just be functional but to actually make your day a little more colorful and fun, something that matches your vibe and makes you smile when you grab it on your way out the door. Practical doesn't have to mean boring.

2027 + Business Major and Computer Science Minor

Owner of GT Designs

Just like the soaps I create, I want to remind people that life can be colorful, unique, and enjoyable. My goal is to bring a sense of happiness and creativity into everyday routines, turning something simple into a moment people look forward to.
