Our Story

Founded by longtime designer Mari Anderson—aka “Bee”—our name is both personal and purposeful. “Bee Human” reflects our commitment to creating inclusive, human-centered products for people of all ages and abilities.

Rooted in the principles of Human Design, we go beyond surface needs to understand how people move, feel, and show up in the world. Every idea starts with listening—and ends with product solutions that support people in living their best lives.

We offer end-to-end consulting and design services for both adaptive and non-adaptive products and apparel—helping individuals and brands bring thoughtful ideas to life. Bee Human is also a launchpad for inclusive brands like Mad Drool, a line of fashionable absorbent neckwear focused on both style and function.

The Mad Drool & Jessica Frew Collaboration

Who is Jessica Frew?

She is a 23-year-old model, actress, pre-law student, and author of a book called The Nonverbal Princess.
Living with cerebral palsy and using a Tobii eye-gaze computer to communicate, she’s a fierce advocate for fashion, dignity, and inclusion. She is proud of the collaboration with Mad Drool and believes “The Jessica” is a product that people of all ages and abilities need because they are stylish, functional, and were made to help people to feel confident and seen.

The story behind "The Jessica" and Mad Drool:
In 2018, Jessica Frew rolled up in her wheelchair to Mari at a fashion show and used her Tobii eye-gaze computer to ask:

"Can you make me a bandana that doesn’t make me look like I’m a cowgirl or a baby?"

That question sparked not only a friendship but also years of collaboration on what would be one of Mad Drool’s first absorbent neckwear designs; "The Jessica".

At the time, Mari lived in Minnesota and Jessica lived in New Jersey. Working long-distance, they tested prototypes and built a product that reflected Jessica's bold style and daily needs.

“The Jessica” honors that collaboration and everything Bee Human Design Group and Mad Drool stand for: to promote dignity, self-expression, and empowerment through fashion.

“Change never happens at the pace we think it should. It happens over years of people joining together, strategizing, sharing, and pulling all the levers they possibly can. Gradually, excruciatingly slowly, things start to happen, and then suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, something will tip.”― Judith Heumann
