As Seen In
Interacting with new faces, communicating my story and sharing my why has got to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my work!
CanvasRebel
I became interested in the social entrepreneurship model, in which the customer is both educated and rewarded for their transaction. The education component comes through a percentage of all profits donated back to the community and the sharing of that mission with the customer. The reward is the product they invest in and the maker they support. In all my creative endeavors, I had never seriously tried my hand at making jewelry and working in clay. I thought that earrings were a fun accessory people would be interested in buying!
When a customer wears my earrings, they often spark a conversation and can thus share our mission and impact. That word-of-mouth growth has helped tremendously to both strengthen our impact and keep supporting the visibility of organizations that advocate and advance social and environmental justice goals.

In her junior summer, Caylea Barone ’21 was back at her family home in Lagrangeville, N.Y., completing her research project remotely due to the pandemic. It was already a heavy time, and then in the aftermath of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s murders, she wanted to find purpose. “[I thought,] I just need to do something, and I need to find a way to use what I do for good,” Barone says.
Next on the agenda for Barone: law school. And, she plans to continue growing Made by Caylea during nights and weekends. “I’ve always wanted to be an environmental lawyer and an artist,” she says.

“For alumna Caylea Barone, graduating a semester early in December 2020 with a dual degree in environmental studies and art is just a fraction of her successes. She currently lives in Alexandria, VA balancing two jobs: one full-time position as a project analyst for a renewable energy firm and the other running her own small one-woman business selling hand-made clay earrings.”
