I had the opportunity to photograph the BIG Center’s final event at Northeastern Illinois University, where a talented cohort of entrepreneurs shared their big pitches. Each founder took the stage to present their vision, showcase their hard work, and connect with the community.
The energy in the room was inspiring—every pitch carried a unique story of innovation, persistence, and creativity. From bold new business ideas to ventures already gaining momentum, the BIG Center is clearly cultivating a powerful entrepreneurial spirit.
Here are a few moments I captured from the event; celebrating the passion, dedication, and courage it takes to bring an idea to life.
