Ever wondered why that perfect print color looks different under office lights?

That color-shifting mystery? It's called metamerism—and it's just one of countless production puzzles that can turn your design dreams into printing nightmares. At Mad Scientist in Residence, we crack these manufacturing codes through interactive tools that let you see, control, and understand every variable affecting your work. From color theory to paper physics, we transform technical complexity into accessible adventures that build both your confidence and your creative possibilities.

Our Mission

At Mad Scientist in Residence, we're on a mission to preserve invaluable manufacturing knowledge while making it accessible and engaging for a new generation of makers, creators, and innovators.

We believe manufacturing expertise shouldn't be locked behind jargon, gatekeepers, or outdated textbooks. Instead, we're transforming technical learning into interactive experiences that inspire curiosity and build practical skills.

Whether you're a designer seeking production confidence, an artist exploring new techniques, or a professional honing your craft, our laboratory doors are open to you.

Our Values

  • Scientific Curiosity

    We approach every subject with genuine wonder and methodical inquiry, digging deeper to understand the "why" and "how" behind manufacturing processes.

  • Playful Experimentation

    We embrace the joy of trial and error, celebrating the messy, unpredictable nature of learning through doing. Technical education should be entertaining and engaging.

  • Practical Expertise

    Our knowledge isn't theoretical—it's grounded in real-world experience and practical application. We value hands-on mastery and the wisdom that comes from both success and failure.

  • Accessible Complexity

    We translate technical concepts into approachable, engaging content without sacrificing depth or accuracy. Complex ideas become accessible when presented with clarity, context, and creativity.
