Ashley Brooks Capstone 2025
For my Capstone, I created a video series to help people understand how to start an online business. I wanted to make something that felt clear and approachable, especially for other students at SLA who are creative and might want to turn their ideas into something real. The videos are organized into playlists that focus on different types of businesses, like selling physical products, digital products, or even just showcasing your work through a portfolio.
Throughout the process, I talked to real business owners, used my own experiences, and did a lot of research to figure out what beginners actually need to know. I spent time writing scripts, organizing ideas, and thinking about how to make the information helpful and easy to follow. My mentor gave me feedback along the way, and I made sure to stick to a schedule so I could stay on track and complete everything on time.
This project taught me how to take something big and break it down into pieces that make sense. I also learned how to communicate more clearly and plan long-term, which is something I know will help me in the future. Overall, my Capstone gave me a chance to do something meaningful while also helping others who might want to start their own business but aren’t sure where to begin.
