The most rewarding part of running my small business is meeting new people and making new connections. Some challenges were finding places to sell at and people to sell to.

ISABEL TOM
2028 + Accountancy
Owner of Rooted
Through Rooted, I hope to share a message of connection, confidence, and meaning. My goal is for every piece of permanent jewelry to remind people of what keeps them grounded, whether that’s a relationship, a milestone, or a personal journey. I want customers to feel valued, celebrated, and connected to something deeper every time they look at their jewelry.

My ultimate goal is to turn my hobby of crocheting into something meaningful for not just myself but others and to continue to explore my creativity. I hope the Student Made community can help me be successful by connecting me with a community of creatives like myself.

MATILDA KRAMER
2027 + Health Science
Owner of Tilla’s Trinkets
The creative process as a whole for my business is very challenging and rewarding. It sometimes can take time to find and/or finish projects, but the end result is always worth it. I can’t help but look at the finished products and feel a sense of pride in my creation, seeing it actually come to life.

LEXUS BUTLER

Owner of Lexi’s Lacquer Lounge
I'm excited to see how people's orders will challenge me artistically! The most rewarding part of my creative process is being able to express myself artistically and authentically. I hope to share with people through my business an accessible place that makes people feel like themselves.

KJ MOULDER
2026 + Journalism - Strategic Communications
My mission is to create art that strikes a chord in people, and to do that at a price that is both fair to me and my clients. I believe art is for the people; while I don’t work for free, I don’t believe in good art being unaffordable, either. Everyone needs art. I want to help people notice the beauty in their lives, in the moments all around them; it is the little things, after all, that make life so wonderful.
