HomeGrown Studio is a creative entrepreneurial initiative bringing together students from different design programs to combine ideas that will evolve into a real product, leveraging their different strengths and skills.
Teams of 3 are given 18 weeks to design and fabricate 15 units of a product from scratch. Students create a variety of items ranging from lighting fixtures and tea sets, to window planters and fabric bags. They learn how to work in a team environment by designing a product that can be used daily. Each team member has their area of expertise, whether it’s creating a brand for the product, 3D designing in Rhino, woodworking experience, and many other skills.
In addition, they research how to price competitively, increase capacity, and how to market their product. In December of 2024 the HomeGrown studio hosted a pop-up event at the ADAAPT space at Findlay Market to sell the products that we created.
