Orbt: The Ballpoint Pen Designed to Stay Around for Years
Orbt is a set of convenient writing instruments, specifically ballpoint pens, that minimize their environmental impact by avoiding single-use plastic and promoting reusability. Inspired by the geostationary orbits revolving around the earth, Orbt is designed to, quite literally, stay around the user for years. The iconic Reuleaux Triangle shape of the stylus and its magnetic stand’s matching profile nudge the user to place the pen back in its home, preventing misplacement, use after use.

SARAPOSO is a speculative company that increases access for international migrants to source, cook, and eat from their 'home' cultures while residing in a new locale. First-year student—and self-described urban international migrant—Margarita Zulueta was inspired to create SARAPOSO based on her own experiences.
Narrateam: Open-Sourcing Intersectional Feminist Resources
First-year, Margarita Zulueta created Narrateam, a platform that offers a centralized database for intersectional feminists to provide their own narratives and learn from the narratives of others, in order to gain a better understanding of the movement. Narrateam members can use the platform to share resources, events, and news items that are relevant to the movement and connect with like-minded individuals and organizations.
