In this episode of the Weekend Reset Podcast, listeners are introduced to Bree, a student at High Point University and founder of Cool Creations by Bree.

A key turning point came when Bree created a custom frat cooler, which helped her realize she could transform her creative hobby into something more meaningful and entrepreneurial.

Creativity plays a central role in Bree’s work, with much of her inspiration coming from travel experiences and personal memories. She explains how exploring new places helps keep her ideas fresh and prevents creative burnout. Instead of waiting for inspiration, she stays engaged by continuously creating and embracing new ideas. This mindset allows her to maintain momentum in both her art and her business.
