MEET THE CREATORS

  • LOU WHARTON

    2026 + Art Education

    Owner of Lou Wharton Ceramics

    I really just hope that the people who see my art are inspired to make art of their own. It’s a huge reason why I got into art myself, and being a part of passing along inspiration to someone else would be really special.

  • BO WITZEL

    2026 + Psychology and Spanish

    Owner of Woven by Witzel

    The most rewarding part of my creative process is being able to reflect on a completed piece and appreciate what I’ve accomplished with just a hook and some yarn. Crochet has taught me not only to value my time and energy, but also that I am perfectly capable of finishing demanding projects.

  • JOEL DAVIS

    2027 + Mechanical Engineering

    Owner of Jets3DPrints

    I want people to see 3d printed items as an alternative to other products, so I always strive for the highest quality and most customization possible. All of my items are available in 60+ colors with customization available on almost every product.

    2029 + Business Management

    Owner of Peyton Does Stuff

    I hope to make people feel proud of their interests and hobbies! Being passionate about something is one of the best parts about being human, so I want to celebrate that with my work and my brand.

  • ALLIE O'SHIELES

    Procrastibakes is here to make college life a little sweeter, one baked good at a time. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to pause, breathe, and treat yourself!

  • OMOTOLA FALOLA

    2026 + Computer Information Systems

    Owner of The Twin Braiders

    The most rewarding part has been seeing the smiles on our clients’ faces after we finish their hair. It’s not just about braiding—it’s about giving people confidence and saving them time and money . The most challenging part has been balancing school, business growth, and building the systems needed to scale, but those challenges push us to grow.

  • MIKAYLA HODOR

    Owner of Kayla’s Crafts

    The most rewarding part is when I show people what I made and they automatically want one for themselves. Makes me feel proud of what I made.
