2026 + Psychology

The most rewarding part of my creative process is seeing the final product after putting in a ton of work. The most challenging part is time management and keeping mental/physical stamina on tedious projects.

2027 + Communication Sciences and Disorders

Owner of Corryn’s Collages

My brand is built around the idea that art can help us connect with the things that shape us—those little, invisible moments that matter. It’s about creating pieces that make you stop and think, whether it's a pop of color, a meaningful quote, or a mix of textures. It’s about embracing creativity, finding beauty in the small things, and celebrating what makes us unique. Every collage is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the moments that often go unnoticed.
