Palatine, IL · Class of 2027 · William Fremd
I’m a senior at William Fremd High School interested in the overlap between business, design, finance, and the internet. Most of my time goes to LINK, school projects, and turning ideas into things people can actually use.
What I’m working on, what I care about, and a few things I’ve done along the way.
I’m a senior at William Fremd High School in Palatine. I like business because it sits at the intersection of a lot of things I already care about: why people choose what they choose, how brands feel, how numbers shape decisions, and how a good idea becomes something real. FBLA gave me a place to test that interest through competition, presenting, and projects.
In March 2026 I started LINK Student Network. It began as a way to help student ventures get better support and has since grown into a mix of opportunities, services, community, and real project work. I’ve worked on almost every part of it, from the website and internal tools to outreach, client work, and figuring out what students actually find useful.
I’ve also completed a Northwestern University finance program, competed through FBLA and Blue Ocean, and worked on marketing and web projects for student organizations. I’m especially interested in consumer behavior, brand strategy, and the tiny choices that make something feel obvious, memorable, or worth paying attention to.
Outside of school and projects, I’m usually somewhere between beauty, fashion, music, travel, a very specific restaurant search, and a Notes app full of ideas. I like collecting references from real life and noticing why certain places, products, and brands feel better than others.
A few projects that have taken up most of my screen time lately.
Started LINK Student Network in 2026 and have been shaping it as it grows. I’ve worked on the public site, internal tools, outreach, student opportunities, client projects, and the service side of the business, with the model changing as I learn what people actually use.
Worked on the website, marketing, promotional materials, and outreach for the student literary nonprofit as part of its executive board.
Started a school club that helps other student organizations with marketing, visibility, event ideas, and project support. It also gives members a way to get hands-on experience by working on real requests around school.
A few competition results and programs from high school.
Travel is one of my favorite ways to collect references. I notice storefronts, hotel details, menus, packaging, neighborhoods, and the tiny things that make a place feel distinct.
Mostly, I just really like going somewhere new, walking around with a drink, taking too many photos, and coming home with a camera roll that makes me want to redesign something.
