What Sets Us Apart

The creativity to see things from a fresh perspective.
Scientists know creativity. At SpaceCraft, we bring that creative spark to the page, developing compelling stories that speak directly to your target audience.

The experience to get the science right.
Before founding SpaceCraft, Kate Becker studied astronomy at Cornell University, earning her MS in 2005. Specializing in agile detection algorithms for radio signals, she co-authored publications in Nature and The Astrophysical Journal and observed with radio and optical telescopes around the world.

The insight to make it resonate.
At SpaceCraft, we see science from a human angle. We go beyond ''gee whiz'' facts and figures to explore the deeper stories behind scientific discovery. In the process, we produce work that sticks with readers long after the Wow factor fades away.
