Grow Grace

Emily Corkery ‘21

I graduated from SVSU in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Technical Writing and minor in Graphic Design. I work full time remotely at a marketing company and run my hobby/ small business on the side. I started my polymer clay earring business in 2021 during the pandemic because I needed a physical creative outlet. I've been having so much fun exploring different styles of earrings, and I find it so fulfilling to gift or wear something my own hands have created!
