HAVE WE MET?

Hi, I’m Jen Moncada — founder of Preppy Prodigy.

A little about Preppy Prodigy...

I started Preppy Prodigy in 2013 when I opened an Etsy shop. I started selling the designs I was creating for my two boys, Cohen + Cole. I started with the lined homework sheets I made to inspire their best work. Each sheet was personalized with their name and their favorite motif. These motifs are still part of the product lineup and became the foundation of Preppy Prodigy.

Before I was a mother, I was a commercial Interior Designer working in California, educated in Richmond, Virginia ( where I met my husband, Oscar ).

How it
all started

My son ( the one on the left ) wouldn't do his homework

for once, I DIDN'T WANT my son to dread his homework.

So on a whim,

after a long weekend of fighting over homework, I went upstairs and created homework sheets with his favorite little red airplane, added his name in his favorite colors and offered him another chance to do his best work. Once he had completed his assignment, he smiled brightly because he was proud of his work - maybe for the first time. 

Preppy Prodigy was founded that day.
