PICTURE THIS

A coder who couldn't stop skateboarding and a physicist who wouldn't stop making terrible puns walk into a t-shirt shop... No, this isn't the setup for a joke - it's literally how Technium Foundry started.

We're just two science nerds who got tired of seeing the same old "Trust Me, I'm a Scientist" shirts and decided to do something about it. Our entire operation runs out of a garage that's equal parts coding station and shirt-folding facility. The coffee maker is our most sophisticated piece of equipment.

Our design process

One of us comes up with a science pun (usually at 3 AM), the other one groans and makes it better, and then we both argue about quantum mechanics until something shirt-worthy emerges. We don't have a team of scientists on staff - unless you count our pet cat who occasionally walks across the keyboard and accidentally improves our code.

What we do have is:

• A deeply nerdy love of science
• Access to way too much caffeine
• A printer that mostly works
• Standards higher than the ISS
• Zero corporate oversight (unless you count the cat)

Every shirt we make is handled by either Chuck (the accountant who can explain string theory but can't untangle actual strings) or Seb (the coder who builds websites but can't build IKEA furniture). We're small, we're authentic, and we're probably debugging something right now.

No fancy marketing team, no focus groups - just two geeks making the kind of shirts we wish existed. Sometimes we get it right, sometimes we accidentally derive new physics laws while designing t-shirts. Either way, we're having fun doing it.

Want to join our extremely exclusive club of science fashion misfits? We promise to keep the quantum puns at a tolerable level. No guarantees about the cat, though.
