MEET THE CREATORS

2026 + Fashion and Textile Design with a concentration in Textile Design

Owner of Grace’s Yarn Tales

My ultimate goal is to spread joy through my creations. I want to show people that crochet isn't something that only older people do. I also want to inspire people to look into crocheting themselves and inspire the next generation of amazing artists.

Graduate Student

Owner of Mo's Cuddly Crochet

My art makes me very happy and I just want to make other people happy with my art and with what I create. If something I make makes someone's day brighter, all the work I put into making it was worth it.

2025 + Environmental Sciences with a focal area in Wildlife Science

Owner of Work of Willow

I want to be a part of helping people express themselves and become more confident in who they are. I have struggled with a lot of social anxiety and self-doubt, but my art has helped me work through it. Whether wearing a bright crochet hat or having fun decorating in my room, I feel like I can be myself in any setting.

2028 + Engineering

Owner of Crochet by Janani

Crochet has made me feel more connected in NC State. Wearing things I have made around campus starts conversations and builds an avenue to connect with others over a shared interest.

2025 + Graphic and Experience Design

Owner of Yarnivore

Through my business, I hope to spread joy, as well a sense of comfort and creativity. Crocheting is a somewhat, newfound hobby of mine that I am passionate about, and being able to share this passion with others makes me happy, and will hopefully make whoever purchases my pieces feel thought of and cared for.

2025 + Chemical Engineering

Owner of Mia's Sewing Stuff

I hope to be able to show how easy it is to get in the habit of not buying fast fashion. I want to promote the idea of upcycling your clothes, whether that is actively designing and cutting fabric or donating clothes to the thrift store.

2026 + Human Biology

Owner of DiMalaysia Designs

I created DiMalaysia Designs during a very low point in my life where I had a constant want to be creative, but lacked the initiative to do so. Crocheting, to me, was a blank canvas with incalculable outcomes.

Portraying threatened marine species as adorable plushies will raise awareness for their protection, all while bringing joy and whimsy to my community.

2025 + Environmental Science

Owner of art.fit.lene

I’m simply hoping to bring joy to people by making small treasures that can be carried with them or used to decorate spaces. Collecting trinkets is one of the great pleasures of life, so I hope that looking and holding my art brings a smile to people’s faces.

2025 + Biomedical Engineering

Owner of Stuck on You

The most rewarding part of the creative process for me is when I’m walking around campus or at a game and I see someone wearing one of my pins! It makes me SO happy knowing that someone liked my designs enough to wear them on their backpack everyday or on their outfits for gameday.

2027 + Exploratory Studies

I hope that my artwork can give people some joy and happiness in their lives. If my work can make someone happy for just one second I’d have accomplished my goal. 

2027 + Computer Science
