The
little girl who loved crayons, unicorns, and flowcharts
My name is Tiffany Ard. I'm a big nerd who
was tragically born with a creative brain.
This combination works well in corporate
America. For fourteen years I specialized in organizing technical
information for persuasive corporate communication. I spent a
lot of days in windowless conference rooms arguing passionately
about the precise wording of things that were going to be used
to train people on how to sell software, even though I knew that
the software was only ever going to be used internally by people
working for a company that made software that was used by another
company that made mainframe computers which were used by banks
to keep track of money that was used by other banks.
I didn't notice that this was stupid
until my first son was born in 2003.
Everything is better now. I work for
myself. I draw pictures of microscopes and laws of planetary motion
while my two little boys pour paint all over the floor of my tiny
studio. We go to the post office twice a week to send artwork
to nerds all over the world.
