We understand your audience—because we are your audience

Our story
Amber and Kai-Saun Anderson always knew that behind every data point are real people with complex, layered identities. But after their son’s premature birth, they experienced firsthand how those layers shape decisions in ways data alone can’t fully explain.
They founded Tote + Pears with a mission to improve lives at every stage, ensuring businesses consider the whole person—because real connections come from understanding real experiences.
