Reese McFarland, Creator at Student-Made Arizona
“Joining Student-Made was a turning point for me. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I quickly realized it was more than just a platform—it was a support system. Not only did I gain knowledge and new customers, but I also found a community of fellow creators and incredibly supportive leads. We bounced ideas off one another, shared constructive feedback, and had countless opportunities to showcase our work across campus. Student-Made didn’t just help my business grow—it gave me the tools, confidence, and connections to take it to the next level.”

“No experience has taught me to communicate and market myself better than Student-Made has. Having the opportunity to speak with businesses and community organizations, setting up markets, and meeting deadlines that affect a group of students, I am gaining skills that are integral to succeed in any line of work. Most importantly, I value that we all need to work together to see the meaningful progress.”
