About Fern Family Co.

Helping families feel seen, supported, and connected—one visual tool at a time.

Why I Started Fern Family Co

Hi, I’m Lisa—mom of three, designer, and founder of Fern Family Co.

When my son Beckham was diagnosed with autism, our days felt chaotic and overwhelming. He was nonverbal, often melting down after masking emotions all day at school. We needed more than a routine—we needed a way to communicate, feel in control, and create calm in our home.

So I built our first board—an acrylic calendar to help him know what to expect each day.

That one board sparked an entire collection of visual tools for families like ours: tools that simplify routines, support regulation, and foster independence while making kids feel seen.

What We Believe

-Every family deserves tools that actually work for them—not just Pinterest-perfect solutions.

-Kids thrive when they can see what’s coming and have a say in their day.

-Visual support isn’t just for neurodivergent families—it benefits everyone.

-Simplicity, flexibility, and connection are at the heart of everything we design.

Why “Fern”?

My company is named after my grandma Fern—an incredible woman who believed in hard work, fierce love, and doing things your own way. She showed me how to lead with compassion and grit, and she’s the heart behind everything I create.
