Kerrine Bryan – Founder and Author
Born in Birmingham, UK, Kerrine is also an award-winning electrical engineer. She currently lives in New York, USA with her husband, 2 daughters and pet fish.
“I have a passion for inspiring the young, introducing them to the career options available to them and ensuring diversity in all fields of work.”
Jason Bryan – Creative Director and Author
