"When I was young, I always dreamed of doing something I loved. The idea that people can build a life for themselves with their passion spoke deeply to me. I was around 13 when I first sparked the idea to start my own business, and that inspiration sat with me for about five years before I finally did it. With the help and collaboration of my roommate, we opened our small online business, Celestial Creations by Artsy and Reneé."
"I decided to commit to the idea of starting my own small business right out of high school, but running a business alone would be tough to do on top of my college coursework. So, I reached out to one of my closest friends, Artsy, who also happens to be my roommate. Artsy already did their own commissions for their art, so they were the best person to ask to join me."
A student dreamed of turning passion into a career and first considered starting a business at age 13, holding the idea for about five years. With a roommate, the student launched an online business called Celestial Creations by Artsy and Reneé, themed around the sun and moon. The shop sold coordinated crochet and jewelry sets reflecting complementary personalities. The founders faced challenges in launching, including developing a business plan, marketing strategy, social media approach, and identifying a target demographic. Balancing college coursework with business responsibilities required collaboration and leveraging complementary skills to divide creative tasks and operational duties.
