In 2021, I co-founded Hopelessly Yellow at the University of Michigan with a goal: to create a space for community, wellness, and mental health that didn’t exist before.

What began as a small group of creative students passionate about fostering connection, quickly grew into a bona fide brand. We dove into personal writing, graphic design, curating music playlists, planning special events, and later launched a podcast—all for our community, by our community.

In 2025, Hopelessly Yellow has expanded to 15+ universities across the country. Our purpose has truly resonated, filling a gap for so many on college campuses and beyond.
