MEET THE CREATORS
-
VIVIAN VAZQUEZ
2028 + Art and Elementary Education
Owner of Gremlin Goods
My work embraces the weird, the unexpected, and the beautifully unconventional—because being “Freakishly Original by Nature” means honoring the parts of ourselves that make us truly unique. I want people to feel empowered to express their originality, to challenge norms, and to find joy in the extraordinary.

ANTOIN RICHARDSON
2027 + Psychology
Owner of Neurowell
Neurowell encourages confidence, mindfulness, and intentional living. I want people to feel empowered wearing NWLL apparel while also engaging with our wellness guides to support their mental and emotional health.

HAILEY ROOTBERG
2026 + Graphic Design
Owner of Her Art & Design
I hope my work, whether it be pottery, keychains or tumblers, brings some sort of joy to people, whether they are a customer or do not buy a product from me. I also hope to expand my creativity with my designs and art.

PAIGE GRIFFIN
2026 + Data Science + Environmental Studies
Owner of Paige Anne Made
My business has impacted my experience as a student in a great way, as I have had to learn how to balance work, classes, and my business, but my entire Student-Made experience has been very valuable to me! Through my business, I hope to share my love of crochet and appreciation of artists/crafters!

MIA MARTHALER
2027 + BFA Acting
Owner of Wild Willow
I am a 20 year old BFA Acting major who loves to make art and loves to tell stories! When StudentMade found me, I was absolutely thrilled about the idea of sharing my art and my stories with my community! I hope to tell a story through everything that I create, and inspire others to create their own stories!

MAGGIE GRUGAN
2027 + 2D Studio Arts
Owner of GroogArt
My ultimate goal with my business is to give myself a solid foundation into marketing myself and showing people that art is alive. I hope the Student-Made community can help by giving me a support system and fellow creators to look up to. It’s nice to have others to climb the ladder with you, you feel a little more motivated to do so with others cheering you on.

JACLYN MCMILLAN
2028 + Physics & Computer Science
Owner of The Crooked Stitch Shop
I hope my products invoke a sense of joy and whimsy, but most importantly, ignite creativity within my customers!
