Our Story

Bearnard was founded in 2023 after a quiet but powerful moment in a South London café. Aleks – then a student at the University of the Arts – was sketching ideas when a nearby family struggled to keep their restless children entertained.

As the kids became more bored, the mother handed each of them a tablet to calm them down, instantly silencing the room. Aleks, reflecting on her own childhood, saw an opportunity: what if there was a way to encourage creativity instead of relying on screens?

That spark led to Bearnard.

Aleks's vision was simple - to give children the tools of imagination, like paper and crayons, in places where families gather. Bearnard isn’t just about keeping kids busy; it’s about preserving childhood wonder, supporting learning through play, and helping families reconnect without digital distractions.

In a world dominated by screens, Bearnard is Aleks's joyful rebellion to help children rediscover the power of their own hands.
