MEET THE CREATORS

2028 + Advertising

Owner of Designs by Erika

Through Designs by Erika I hope to inspire creativity when others view my art. I hope that every work of art I make and every piece I crochet inspires people to possibly pursue a creative interest of their own.

2028 + Art Education

I would like to show care and devotion to the works I create. I want to show people the importance of art and how it can be incorporated into everyday life.

2025 + Genomics & Molecular Genetics

I hope to inspire creativity in others. Art, in whatever form it takes, is so important for well-being, both the act of enjoying a finished project and the process of making a new piece.

2027 + Supply Chain Management

Owner of Slow’s Threads’

I curate vintage clothing that dates back to be 20 years or older. My goal is to support sustainable fashion and preserve old clothing from going to waste when it’s better quality than most of what is produced today.

2027 + Physiology and Neuroscience

Owner of Rhidesign

I hope to share creativity with others and inspire someone else to begin crafting their own ideas and help people become the person they want to be.

2028 + Kinesiology

Owner of Spartan Ribbons

The message and emotion I want to convey is school spirit for MSU. I had originally created these bows for myself and a few friends to wear because I just really wanted to have as much Spartan gear as I could. I got some compliments and then I decided I wanted everyone to be able to wear my product and be as excited as I was for every game that I got to get dressed up for.

2028 + Business Exploratory

Owner of Cherry Loops

I hope that my jewelry helps people add a little joy and color to their life! I think adding something a little fun or colorful to your wardrobe can help you feel excited for the day, and I hope my jewelry can allow people to do that.

2026 + Marketing

Owner of Beginner Conscious Cosmetics

I hope to share the message with younger girls who are just like me, who didn't see themselves portrayed often in the beauty industry, or felt left out because no one was teaching them that I see them and I understand how it feels.
