Alumni Spotlight: Jadie Keck | Class of 2022

As the founder of CRE8, Jadie built a business that transformed her original artwork into tangible products like posters, stickers, tote bags, and more. Her creativity and bold vision helped her turn passion into profit during her time in the CEO program.

Jadie is now pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a specialization in photography and a minor in psychology. She currently works as a photographer and creative director for both Lanracorp and The Better Contractor, blending artistry and strategy in her work.

“I left the program with skills that not all of my peers had, and that gave me confidence. I learned that it is important to assess your skill level and use it to your advantage in business and life settings. I also learned that my hometown is wonderful and has a lot of special people in it working hard to make the community better. Lastly, the program showed me that anything is possible.”

“In five years, I see myself traveling for my business CRE8ING IMAGES, adapted from CRE8, taking photographs and seeing the world with my partner.”
