MEET THE CREATORS

AMELIA BAIR
2030 + Studio Arts
Owner of Bair Necessicities
Not everything has to be the same store-bought item that is trending on TikTok. I would like to redefine the word “trendy” to be something you are confident in. Rather than what everyone else loves, it should be about what you love.

My mission is to serve as a space for anyone and everyone to be creative and to freely capture their most expressive self. Not only do I get a chance to experiment, but you can as well. Together we could grow and build memories.

ISABEL DELOACH
2028 + Hospitality, tourism, and event management
Owner of Lillie Varie
Through my press-on nail business, I want to share confidence and self-expression. My goal is to help people feel put together and like they can show up as the best version of themselves, whether they’re heading to class or a night out. The most rewarding part has been designing unique sets that reflect different personalities and styles. It’s so fulfilling to see people light up over nails that feel "so them."
