SARA JACOBS
2028 + Hospitality Management
Owner of Dream Big Bakery
I hope to make people happy through the art of food. I hope to share with them that baked goods can be adapted to any diet and taste just as amazing. I am known for gluten free and sugar free adaptations of recipes. (Note that unless a restriction is specified, I will make the baked goods with flour and sugar.) Also there are no limits to food. If you have an idea, there is a way to make it happen, and that is the essence of Dream Big.

LYDIA HILL
Graduate Student in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling
Owner of ArtbyLydiah
My work reflects a manipulation of color as a key element. I do this to offer new ways of looking at the mundane and changing the experiences by alternating the expected when viewing an object. In the end the most important thing is to express myself in a way that relates with others or provokes emotion.
