Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by founders who take simple ideas and turn them into something people actually feel. Brands like Apple and Nike don’t just sell products — they create experiences. That’s what I aim to do with InstaCookie: take something as simple as a cookie and turn it into a memorable moment that connects people and brands in a real way.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by progress. Whether it’s landing a new client, improving our product, or seeing someone genuinely react to what we create. It keeps me going. I also remind myself why I started: to build something meaningful, create opportunities, and prove that creative ideas can turn into real businesses.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest directly into scaling InstaCookie — upgrading production equipment to increase output, improving packaging for a more premium experience, and expanding our marketing to reach more corporate clients. The goal is to move faster, fulfill larger orders, and position InstaCookie as the go-to brand for edible marketing and branded experiences.
