Today, our story of making blends the nostalgic with the new. I think that many people may be familiar with or have at least heard of TikTok at this point—especially after 2020’s quarantine. Quite a few people jumped on the TikTok bandwagon as app users or have even gone on to become content creators themselves. But do you also remember American Girl Dolls? Purdue student—and now alumnus—Seth Workman also entered into the hobby of content creation through TikTok. Harboring a passion for cooking and also collecting some of the historic American Girl Dolls, he had the innovative idea to cook his way through the American Girl Doll cookbooks for TikTok users—and himself—to enjoy. Through making not only historical food dishes but also creating highly focused and well-edited content for TikTok, Seth soon struck up a steady following of TikTok fans. Seth joins us to tell the story of his journey as a cook, collector, and content creator.
