About Our Founders - Some Nerd Stuff
💫 Meet the Founders of Some Nerd Stuff
We’re two sisters who took our lifelong love of creativity, coding, cartoons, and chaos—and turned it into a craft business built on pure passion (and probably too much caffeine). Some Nerd Stuff is our happy place, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.
🎨 Leah: The Detail Devotee
3D Artist • Anime Lover • Clay Whisperer
From the moment she could hold a crayon, she’s been drawing, doodling, and crafting tiny magical worlds. High school solidified her calling in the arts, and she went on to earn a degree in 3D animation—because "professional nerd" is apparently a real career now.
She’s a collector at heart: Magic: The Gathering (yes, for the art), Pokémon cards, manga, and a deep archive of X-Men comics that might be a fire hazard.
These days, she’s married to her high school sweet hart who helps wrangling three energetic boys, several overly enthusiastic dogs, a houseplant jungle, and still manages to create magical things in between kayaking trips. Founding Some Nerd Stuff gave her a way to turn her art and love of nerdy culture into something real, tangible, and shareable—with people just like you.
💻 Allana: The Code-Slinging Sunshine Seeker
Tech Nerd • Storyteller • Rainbow Enthusiast
Allana’s nerd journey started with an Atari 2600 and never slowed down. She grew up on DOS prompts, dice rolls, and the sheer joy of debugging code at 2 AM (it’s a hobby... apparently). She collected Magic cards for the art, fell in love with D&D for the stories, and stayed for the community of kind, quirky humans who love the weird and wonderful things.
Professionally, she took her full-stack web dev skills into the wild world of corporate America—but the dream of creating a space for quirky, creative people like her never faded. She tied the knot with her partner in crime, joyfully wrangling four kids, three fluffy pups, and waging war on weeds in her herb garden!
In 2025, the sisters said, “Let’s do this!” and launched Some Nerd Stuff to bring joyful, nerdy, handmade creations into the world. It’s been a wild ride—and they're just getting started.
🌟 Why Some Nerd Stuff?
Because you deserve art that’s made with love, laughter, and a bit of nerdy magic.
Some Nerd Stuff is a proudly female-run small business built on creativity, connection, and a shared obsession with all things geeky. Every single item we make—whether it’s a charm, a necklace, a desk trinket, or decor for your cozy gaming nook—is handcrafted with care using polymer clay, recycled materials, and precious metals. We’re serious about sustainability, but we also like sparkles. It’s a balance.
From tiny dragons to potion bottle earrings, from anime-inspired home decor to dice sets that look like they were pulled straight from a wizard’s satchel—everything we make is created by hand (often while sipping tea and rewatching Studio Ghibli films). No mass production. No shortcuts. Just two sisters geeking out and making art for people who love what they love.
We design for the nerds, the dreamers, the cozy crafters, the comic collectors, the bookworms, the gamers, and everyone in between. If it brings you joy, we want to make it.
This isn’t just about cute stuff—it’s about meaningful creations that celebrate who you are. We believe the best art is the kind that feels like it was made just for you.
