About Sci Chic
The Team
Science is more than a calculating means to an end. We at Sci Chic (sī SHēk) believe science is an artform full of beauty. Come along with Sci Chic as we show the fashionable side of science by using advanced technology to make science and engineering inspired accessories and outreach resources.
We are the source for people that love science and are interested in learning more! You can learn about the science behind all of our products in our store.
Here at Sci Chic we use advanced technology to make clothing for people that love technology. All of our accessories are 3D printed and our fabric products cut using laser cutters or custom stamped and printed.
We use our 3D models and 3D printing to create resources to help get kids interested in science and engineering.
Sci Chic has blog posts twice a week and new products released in seasonal collections

Erin has also participated in engineering internships with Solar Turbines, John Deere and Bracken Engineering.
Her passions consist of 3D printing, sewing, hiking, and photography. She has a desktop 3D printer and loves experimenting with new designs. She also sews everything from everyday clothes to costumes.
Erin is an accomplished writer and speaker with her work being featured in the New York Times. She devliered a 2015 University of Florida Engineering Convocation speech.
Alex Anthony
Communications Officer
Alex is a graduate of the Florida State University and holds one degree in Creative Writing and another in Media/Communication Studies. He is an Eagle Scout, and his upbringing in the Boy Scouts of America inspired in him a love for the natural world. This has developed to include a passionate pursuit of all things science. An avid writer who draws inspiration from nature, Alex has seen many of his poems published, both online and in print, as well as several short stories. Along with his work for Sci Chic, he keeps himself busy completing the second draft of his novel and learning the field of graphic design. While most think science and the liberal arts are opposites, Alex decidedly disagrees. He is excited to show the world the beauty and value of combining these two "opposing" fields.
