Marcel's Company: Artist, Marcel Z. (in 4th grade) loved creating finger puppet characters out of paper, so he launched the Premier Finger Puppet Club in his class, and it was a huge hit.

That is how Marcel's Company came to be.
Little Sketch: Artist and business owner, Malena Z. (in 2nd grade) always observed her parents doing art and design. She would often attend design conventions and she noticed children selling art with their parents. So, she told herself, "I can do it too!" Two years ago, Malena started selling her original artwork in the form of greeting cards and bookmarks. Today she is proud to expand her offerings to include t-shirts!
