Emma Huff creates stickers with her Try It Fund winnings

Emma Huff ‘26: Spreading Positivity One Sticker at a Time with Star Sprout

As an artist and entrepreneur, Emma Huff ‘26 has transformed her passion for art into a small business with her online shop, Star Sprout, which specializes in unique and heartwarming stickers.

The inspiration behind Star Sprout stems from Emma’s use of art as a personal outlet during stressful times. Her stickers feature delightful scenes such as coffee cups, books, and whimsical little creatures. They are adorned with motivational and supportive phrases like “Keep Growing,” “You’re More Than Enough,” and “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.” Each sticker is a small piece of art intended to provide comfort and uplift spirits, reflecting Emma’s belief in the power of positive affirmations.

Emma’s journey with Star Sprout took a significant leap forward when she applied for and won the Try It Fund. Her project was not just about selling a product—it was about spreading hope and making a difference in people’s lives. 

Looking ahead, Emma has big plans for Star Sprout. She envisions expanding the product line to include stationery sets, enamel pins, and keychains, all designed with the same quirky, supportive, and motivational ethos that has made her stickers so beloved.

The Try It Fund has been made possible through generous support from the Charlie Hinnant ’72 Fund, Davidson alumni and other community sponsors.
