A firewife, mom of 2 bitty babes, with over a decade of service as a public school educator and administrator, and now half of the dynamic Bitty Bao Duo - meet Lacey Benard. As an American-Born-Chinese woman, raised without the gift of Chinese as a second language, Lacey is hoping to now prioritize language acquisition for her own bitty babes through bilingual books, cultural events, and their school district’s Mandarin dual immersion program. Knowing first-hand how challenging it can be to find resources to support language acquisition at home, Lacey finds passion in creating and dreaming up books and products to support and inspire families like hers.
From a very early age, Lacey loved all kinds of art, especially freehand scrapbooking and cardmaking using nothing but scissors, a Sharpie, and scraps of colored paper. She spent over a decade as a classroom teacher and eventually worked her way up to a school administrator role. While on hiatus from the field of education as she started her family, the opportunity to tap into her love of papercutting cute art presented itself through the creation of Bitty Bao. She currently resides in Dana Point, CA with her husband and two children and enjoys catching all of her children’s small moments, exploring new places, and eating yummy food.
