I created The Science Boutique while I was conducting research in astrophysics. It began as a cathartic project, something just for fun. Other women in my lab loved the jewelry and encouraged me to put it on Etsy. The Science Boutique grew from there.

We are now a family business. I met my husband, Joffre, on a trip to the Galapagos in Ecuador, where he’s from. He now works the markets and even makes products with me! After I gave birth to our son, Darwin, my mother moved in with us and she loves to help as well.

Our second home, the Galápagos Islands, is a place where climate change is undeniable. It is important to us that our business is as green as possible. That is why all of our packaging, even our tape, is compostable.

After a few years of glitches and problems with staffing, we will be launching our new and improved website in early 2025. Until then, come see us at local markets or join our email list!

Thank you for shopping green, small, woman
owned, and nerdy!
