We’ve reached the end of our Fall 2024 semester, and we are reflecting on the many incredible accomplishments of our student-founders across the country.

The ability to make people entering a new community feel seen, heard, and welcomed is something incredibly powerful. Accommodating individuals of all backgrounds who have a diverse set of motivations, but bringing us all together with a common goal of being successful entrepreneurs, will be the most beneficial tool from this position. 

What initially geared me to take this next step with my artistry was the opportunity Student-Made presented. Prior to this, I was always hesitant to sell my artwork because most of the art I was making was with the intention of pleasing me and no one else, so I thought no one would find interest in it.

We have the opportunity to decide whether a failure can propel us, or paralyze us. To take the things that bring us fear and decide to go after them anyway because we know that whether we fail or succeed, there is purpose in everything we do.

The Content Creation Manager position has allowed me to portray a vision through collaborating with the ideas from creators and the Social Media Manager in order to get something tangible and close to our shared imagination.

What I hope to take with me from this Student-Made community is the sense of connection and support that’s so crucial for creators. Being surrounded by people who are passionate about their crafts, and who are navigating their own unique journeys, has been inspiring.

The Student-Made community radiates positivity and inspiration, and it's apparent in the way that creators from different backgrounds are able to support one another while growing their own businesses. It gives me a sense of belonging in the entrepreneurial space, and I hope to inspire others to use their artistic passions to institute social change.

‘Made for More’ is a Christian apparel brand that has my entire heart, soul, and testimony in it. It just felt so right. In the Jim Moran program at FSU, all of my professors say that coming up with an idea is the hardest part of starting a business. But if you either come up with a solution to a problem, or are coming from a place of passion, then you’ve got your idea.

There's beauty in a busy day where you feel like you'll never get everything done. Just like there’s beauty in a simple, slow day where you feel like you have all the time in the world.
