About Ad Astra Boutique

Hi, I'm Andrea! I'm the owner and mastermind behind Ad Astra Boutique, a brand that offers elegant-yet-quirky STEM-inspired jewelry and accessories. Because life is too short for boring jewelry! I'm a Canadian mom, former teacher (but really, still a teacher at heart, aren't we always?), and lifelong learner. I love coffee (iced, please), dogs, and spending time in nature with my family. The seed for Ad Astra Boutique was planted over 20 years ago, the first time I took a high school science class. I was in awe of my teachers; they seemingly knew All The Things, or at least they were as excited as I was to ask questions and try and discover the answers. From working at a science & engineering summer camp throughout university to then becoming a teacher myself, my love for STEM and the pursuit of knowledge has been a constant in my life that I love to now share with my own two children. Creating beautiful, high-quality accessories inspired by science and math is my ultimate dream come true. Now more than ever, our world needs to celebrate knowledge and all its pursuits.Read their story
