February 12, 2024 by Sarah Perdue

We’re the Perdues—a delightfully weird duo fueled by curiosity, creativity, and a love for new adventures. Sarah’s a biochemical engineer who can science anything, and Scott’s a user experience designer who makes everything cooler (including our vacation itineraries). We love traveling, cheering on the Cardinals, cooking up delicious treats, and tackling creative projects like cosplay, decorating, and 3D printing. We also specialize in snuggling our very opinionated cat—and basically every cat we meet. The name? It’s a mash-up of “Perdue” and “Fuzion,” symbolizing how we fuse our passions, perspectives, and ideas into everything we do—from travel and design to science and storytelling.
