Welcome to Mermaid Scientist
Dive into the ocean through art and education
Mermaid Scientist is an educational business for kids to learn about the world underwater — regardless of whether they live by the ocean.
I am an actual marine scientist creating marine biology content in a digestible format for kids. While living in the Philippines, I started a 501(c)(3) non profit to teach tribal kids literacy, numeracy, and coral reef ecology.

“I haven't come across a better coloring book about the ocean. Not only is it great for kids interested in sea life or biology, but it's also just fun to color in. One of my friends got a copy for her niece, but then needed another copy soon after because she ended up coloring in most of the pages herself on a rainy day.”
“I just wanted to tell you that my 2 yr old daughter really enjoyed putting all the cute magnets on the freezer and she is loving the mermaid coloring books too! These are all the things I thought I could only dream of gifting her. So happy they exist because of you. Thanks for the smiles!”
