Made By Laiken
Founder

Made By Laiken began as a passion project that combined my love for art, storytelling, and campus culture. What started with a few hand-drawn illustrations for friends quickly evolved into a brand that celebrates memories through wearable art. Each sweatshirt design captures the essence of college life, from iconic campus landmarks to the emotions tied to unforgettable moments, allowing students and alumni to wear a piece of their story.

Over time, Made By Laiken has grown from a small creative outlet into a thriving business with customers across multiple universities. Every piece is custom-illustrated, printed with care, and inspired by real experiences — making each design feel personal and nostalgic. Beyond apparel, the brand continues to expand into art prints and custom commissions, all centered around the idea of turning memories into meaningful keepsakes.

In addition to designing, I personally manage every aspect of the business — from marketing and social media strategy to packing, fulfillment, customer communication, and sales analytics. Running everything independently has given me hands-on experience in branding, operations, and entrepreneurship, and taught me the importance of time management, adaptability, and consistency in growing a small business.

As the brand grows, my goal is to continue building connections through creativity, collaborating with sororities, philanthropy events, and campus organizations nationwide to bring community-driven art to life. Made By Laiken represents more than a clothing line; it’s a reflection of who I am as both an entrepreneur and an artist, someone who believes that design has the power to tell stories and connect people in the most personal way.
