In 2005 I had a baby. That baby was very cute and very huggable which was good because that baby never let me put him down. Ever. For 6 solid months, I held him in one hand and drew with the other. I drew whatever amused me. I drew goofy cartoons about breastfeeding, and birds, and babies. Somewhere in those blurry, sleep deprived days I started working on a super sciencey alphabet. At that time Baby Einstein was a big deal and in my exhaustion, I thought taking it to an extreme would be hilarious.

I made some flashcards and put the Nerdy Baby science alphabet in my etsy shop, figuring it was my own weird joke that hardly anyone would get. But then! People liked it! And lots of people bought my new Nerdy Baby flash cards... and so off I went in this direction. It was easy because I really do LOVE science and math and all things nerdish. Over time I expanded the line to include production lines of books, print sets, textiles, magnetic play sets. My husband makes jewelry, so occasionally we work together to design super sciencey pendants and cufflinks.

And now well hey look! We're kind of a big deal sometimes. The flash cards are in some of the world's most incredible museum gift shops, we're on ThinkGeek.com and in the UncommonGoods catalog.

There's always more good stuff in progress, and if you want me to illustrate a particular scientific concept or law feel free to send me a message.
