About me

Hi, I’m Elise, and welcome to Campus Creations Co! What started as a fun college hobby has blossomed into something bigger than I could have ever imagined. Let me take you back to where it all began…

​

About 10 years ago, I was a sorority girl in college, I started painting coolers & shipping them to friends and sorority sisters across the country. The response was amazing, and it wasn’t long before I realized how much I loved expressing myself through paint and design for college students.

​

As I continued painting, my customers—many of whom were graduating—started asking me if I could paint their graduation caps. As someone who had dropped out of school, I was beyond excited to have the chance to help them mark such an important milestone. Painting those caps turned into a passion project, and before I knew it, I was hand-painting hundreds of custom graduation caps!

​

What started as small, personal requests quickly turned into a full-fledged business. I began printing my original designs and selling them online, reaching customers all over the world! Etsy was my first home under the name Kalida Designs, but it quickly became clear that I had bigger dreams and ideas for my business. That's when I knew it was time to take the leap and create my own platform.

​

Now, I’m so excited to continue growing, sharing my designs, and offering unique, personalized products that help people celebrate life’s big moments. Whether you’re looking for a custom-painted cooler, a one-of-a-kind graduation cap, or something else entirely, I’m here to bring your vision to life.

​

Thank you for supporting my journey—there’s so much more to come, and I can’t wait to take you along for the ride!
