OLIVIA AGENO
Printmaking Major
Owner of Liv Sparkly
This shop mainly focuses on print-on-demand items and stickers. I lost a friend from church in a car accident, so I decided to pursue her dream of starting an Etsy Shop in 2023 even though it was on her 2022 bucket list.

SERENITY KOSOROK
2027 + Microbiology with a Minor in Chemistry
Owner of SK Crochet
I started this page when I switched my major at ASU from biology to microbiology, and found out only a month before tuition was due that it was going to be $500 more than my student loans would cover. I was working two jobs at the time, which were barely covering my rent and bills. I posted on social media that I would be willing to crochet items for people who were willing to help pay for my tuition, and I had such an overwhelmingly positive response that within two days, I was able to cover my tuition and my books. I am so grateful to that first set of people who helped me get through that semester.

My experience as a Student-Made manager shaped the way I think about creativity, leadership, and building community, and it gave me the confidence to start a pop-up based on student interaction.

ABIGAIL WHITING
2028 + Management and Business Law
Owner of Crow’s Eye Artistry
I love incorporating new things into the business which is often challenging but worth it. For example, through doing resin I have learned how to dry my own flowers and keep them safe until I am able to use them. The risk of using my own dried flowers has often led to panic when one falls apart but once it is done, it is so worth it.

SHEFALI BHAKTA
2028 + Global Health & Biomedical Sciences
Owner of Arte del Alma
The most challenging part of my creative process is viewing my projects through an impartial lens, always believing that something can be fixed to enhance the product’s quality. However, one of the most, if not the most, rewarding experiences is when others see it and genuinely like and appreciate it, connecting with whatever piece it is they look at.

GRACE LUIS
2029 + Forensic Science
Owner of Crochet by Gracie
Trusting the process has been the most challenging, yet most rewarding part of my creative process. At first, you have this grand idea that you want to make something and when you start to make it, it looks ugly and feels like there is no ending. Once you finish that last row, you feel a sense of accomplishment and it’s very rewarding when someone says to you “You made that?!?!”. Crochet is basically all about patience and falling in love with something you almost gave up on halfway through.

JOCELYN JAMES

Owner of Jewelry by Jocelyn
Jewelry by Jocelyn is an idea I thought up a while ago to honor my Nana. She taught me how to make jewelry almost a decade ago, and it was always something we did together. Now that I’m away at college, I wanted to provide a way to stay connected to her despite the miles apart and share the happiness she gives me with others. I’m thrilled to finally make this dream of mine a reality.
