JOAQUIN CHADE-MENDEZ
2028 + Electrical Engineering
Owner of JoacoTaco Art
I hope to inspire others to explore art and just be more creative! The most rewarding part of my creative process is seeing the amount of work I have created and shared on platforms like Instagram. It’s fun to see how long I have been keeping at it and how much I’ve grown and improved over time. As a fan of comic books, I hope to inspire others to give the medium a try and grow a similar fondness for it as I have.

MATILDA KRAMER

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.

Through Rooted, I hope to share a message of connection, confidence, and meaning.

I want customers to feel valued, celebrated, and connected to something deeper every time they look at their jewelry.

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.

GRACI CALOVICH
2027 + Fine Art
I hope to share a passion for authentic expression, and make all of my customers feel comfortable in their own personal style! My pieces aim to play with experimental design that swings all the way from minimal to maximal, completely natural/one of a kind to mass produced, bright to monochromatic… the only common theme being an honest love for creation, community, nature, and art!!
