2029 + Psychology

Owner of The Yarney Barn

My mission is to touch people’s hearts and show them that “the earth without art is just eh” (one of my favorite quotes by Demetri Martin). I aspire to help others realize that creativity is all around us and that we should appreciate it any opportunity we have! I aim to curate a place where people can view creativity as not only art but as a voice for so many.

2028 + Justice Studies

Owner of Jaye’s Art N’ Stuff

The most rewarding part of the creative process is when it all comes together. I improvise on anything that is an original work to me. The challenge is the process to get to the rewarding part. Some items are made in a breeze, however, other items take some trial and error to be the way I envisioned them to be.

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.

2029 + Journalism and Mass Communication

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.

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.

Where Art Meets Adornment

The most rewarding part of the creative process has by far been the creation of my beloved jewelry pieces. I greatly enjoy art mediums that I can share with others and I get so excited seeing others appreciate pieces I have dedicated time and love to.

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.

2027 + Digital Marketing

Owner of Bunny Ache

The most rewarding part of having my business has been seeing my friends and family with the items I have made and seeing how happy they are.

Owner of Hope with Psalms

When creating Hope with Psalms, I knew I wanted to honor the Lord and give back to Him. That is why I founded Hope with Psalms, a Christian faith -based business that includes scripture with every order. Each month, I give one - tenth of my earnings to my local church Salt River Church of Christ. The remaining earnings are reinvested into my business and help support me through college and basic daily needs. I have hope through the Lord and need to share it through Hope with Psalms.
