"MICA's design program has equipped me with the fundamentals while encouraging me to break rules and be expressive."

"As an artist, it is the highest feeling to know that your art has touched and impacted someone. I certainly hope that through my journey, I have encouraged others to believe in positivity during times of struggle, while reminding them that dreams can be carved even from poverty."

"As artists and designers, we primarily use sight as our main source of information/inspiration but the inclusion of so many other elements deepens our understanding of a vision."

"As an artist, my goal is to make art and culture that lends itself to grassroots community development and that highlights powerful women. So when I heard about Mother Made starting, I was excited to use my skills to help get the business off the ground."
