Sobre nosotros

Hello! I'm Ada Knechtel the mastermind behind AK Creates. I am a 10th grader at Shawnee Mission West and I am always finding a way to be creative. When I was just 11, during the pandemic, I was on a mission to start a business. I thought it would be so fun selling my art (and as a bonus I would be able to spread some positivity and happiness in the world during that tough time).

Problema

At an early age I noticed that there is a lot of negativity in our everyday lives. When I founded AK Creates, it was during quarantine, when people needed easy ways to uplift each other and stay in touch.

Solución

Bright and colorful stationery that promotes positivity! This includes greeting cards that can be sent to loved ones to cheer them up, cute stickers with motivational messages, notepads encouraging productivity, and notebooks custom designed to match your style!

Mercado objetivo

Millennials and Gen X females that are employed in the United States, but open to anyone who likes cute paper goods that brighten their day.

Impacto social

​

Próximos pasos

I am looking for new opportunities to network and expand my business. As well as find ways to sell a greater range of products to a variety of people, to make more sales.

Nuestras escuelas y distritos

I think I did a good job making a professional image for myself and exerted confidence while presenting to show that I am prepared.
