OUR STORY
How it started
Hi! I’m Melanie, the founder of Science Collective. I started making science-themed illustrations during my PhD, at a time when I was a little burnt out and wanted to reconnect with my creative side.
When I started sharing my illustrations on social media, other scientists resonated with the humour, inside jokes, and shared experiences that make academic research so unique. It reminded me that one of my favourite parts of science has always been the community behind it.
What started as a creative outlet grew into what Science Collective is today, a brand that brings joy to scientists around the world and helps the scientific community feel seen and connected.
Things we value
Creativity
We love creating new designs that resonate with scientists. Our team includes PhD scientists and graphic designers to bring you beautiful designs that feel fresh and relevant.
Community
We believe one of the best parts of being a scientist is the community that comes with it. Our designs capture the inside jokes and shared experiences that make scientists feel seen, understood, and connected.
Positivity
We keep things uplifting. Our goal is to create designs that make you smile, laugh, and feel seen.
Accessibility
With a focus on thoughtful design and accessible pricing, we make high-quality science-inspired goods that you can enjoy every day.
Our mission
At Science Collective, our mission is to celebrate the people behind the science and foster a sense of belonging within the scientific community. We create illustrated products inspired by the everyday experience of being in science : the late nights, inside jokes, small wins, and shared struggles that only other scientists truly understand.

We design for scientists like you and value your input. Contact us with any suggestions on how to enhance our brand and products to better fit into your day-to-day life.
