MEET THE CREATORS

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.

Owner of Whisk Takers

I have had a love for baking ever since I was a little kid, but never had the opportunity or time to turn my hobby into a potential career until now! I’m hoping that Student-Made will be able to help me bring Whisk Takers to places I never thought imaginable and that my treats make everyone’s days a bit sweeter!

My ultimate goal for my business is to grow into a brand that celebrates creativity, uniqueness, and individuality. I want to spread joy and the love of flowers.

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.
