ABOUT CLAN OF NERDS

For the ones who stay late, think deeply, and quietly keep the world running.

Clan of Nerds was founded by a hardworking nerd who spent years buried in textbooks, data, hospitals, labs, code, and coffee—watching the same kind of people show up over and over again:

  • The doctor on their 14th hour of call.

  • The engineer staying late to fix what no one else understands.

  • The researcher running “one last experiment” at midnight.

  • The student rewriting notes instead of going out.

The world doesn’t always see these people.
We do.
We call them: the Clan.

Clan of Nerds exists to celebrate the people who quietly make the world better—and to flip the word “nerd” into the highest compliment in the room.

What “Nerd” Means to Us

Some people still think “nerd” means:

  • Awkward

  • Too intense

  • Too obsessed

We disagree.

To us, a nerd is:

Someone who cares enough to go deep, to master their craft, and to use that mastery to improve lives.

Nerds are the reason:

  • Planes stay in the sky.

  • Medications get discovered.

  • Code doesn’t crash (most of the time 😅).

  • Students have teachers who go the extra mile.

Being a nerd isn’t a phase. It’s a lifetime of choosing effort over easy.

Clan of Nerds is here to dress that devotion—with humor, pride, and a little bit of swagger.

Our Mission

We’re on a simple mission:

To create gear that lets nerds proudly wear what they’ve dedicated their lives to.

Whether you’re saving lives, shipping code, solving equations, or raising the next generation of nerds, you deserve more than generic, boring merch.

Our designs are meant to:

  • Honor your grind

  • Spark inside jokes with your people

  • Start conversations in elevators, clinics, labs, and conferences

  • Make it easy to gift something that actually feels personal

When you put on a Clan of Nerds hoodie, carry a ClanBag, or dress a little “Future Nerd” in one of our pieces, you’re not just wearing a logo—you’re wearing your story.

Who We Create For

We design for every flavor of nerd—the ones who stay curious, go deep, and quietly keep the world running:

  • Doctor & Health Nerds – physicians, surgeons, nurses, PAs, therapists, med students, anyone living in scrubs and clinic notes.

  • Data, Tech & Engineering Nerds – coders, analysts, cybersecurity wizards, AI tinkerers, network admins, and the engineers who keep everything from bridges to back-end servers from collapsing.

  • Math, Physics & Hard Science Nerds – the people who think in formulas, experiments, circuits, molecules, and models.

  • Economics & Finance Nerds – economists, quants, policy wonks, market modelers, actuaries, and spreadsheet warriors who see the world in curves, trends, and trade-offs.

  • Social Science & Policy Nerds – psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, public health and policy people who obsess over how humans actually live, behave, and build systems.

  • Humanities, Literature & Language Nerds – writers, readers, translators, linguists, historians, philosophers, librarians, and everyone who lives inside stories, texts, and big ideas.

  • Education & Teaching Nerds – teachers, professors, tutors, instructional designers, and mentors shaping the next generation of nerds.

  • Law & Justice Nerds – lawyers, law students, advocates, and legal minds fighting to make systems more fair.

  • Art, Design & Creative Nerds – designers, illustrators, architects, musicians, content creators, and all the detail-obsessed creatives who craft how the world feels and looks.

  • Future Nerds – babies, kids, teens, college students, and anyone still figuring out their path but already asking a thousand questions a day.

And honestly?

If you care deeply about something, work hard at it, and use it to make the world a little better, you’re who we create for—even if your field isn’t on this list yet.
