Question: What type of things do you design

Cute and colourful science products!

I actually have my own little shop – I design and create science-related products like pin badges, stickers, notebooks and tote bags. You can take a look here if you’re interested: https://www.etsy.com/shop/scienceonapostcard. I started the shop because I had a conversation with a stranger in an airport and when I told him I was a scientist he seemed surprised. I loved doodling and drawing, so I wanted to use that to create products that people could use to spark conversations about science in every day life. For example my little ‘Scientist’ pin badge lives on my coat, and I’ve probably had 10 conversations with complete strangers (on the tube, on buses, on trains etc!) because they’ve seen that pin and then asked me about what I do.
