My Small Business - KateTCollectibles
KateTCollectibles combines creativity and entrepreneurship, selling handcrafted products online and at events. Through this venture, I hone my skills in sales, marketing, and customer engagement while sharing my passion for unique, handmade items.
Behind the Scenes
Product Photography
Utilizing my Canon T3i camera, that I had initially no idea how to use, I took every product photo for KateTCollectibles. For magnet boards, I used my dad's light (with some wax paper draped over the front to imitate the effects of a soft box light), as well as any white wall in my house I could find. Smaller items such as candles and letters, I purchased a white poster board and foam board for the background, and my table side lamp as lighting. Each photo was then edited in Adobe Lightroom as a way to keep each product photo consistent with each other.
Sorority Involvement - Gamma Phi Beta
Sorority Life and the "College Experience"
Being part of Gamma Phi Beta has been one of the most meaningful aspects of my college experience. It has given me lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, and a chance to make a difference within the Panhellenic community. As Corresponding Secretary, I use my creativity to design and send gifts to other Panhellenic chapters, strengthening our connections and fostering a supportive environment among sororities.
Beyond my role, I continuously build relationships within my chapter and across campus, creating bonds that extend beyond college. My sorority involvement has not only helped me grow as a leader but has also enriched my time at FSU in ways I’ll always cherish!
