Having a baby can change your life, not to mention the amount of gear you end up needing. These days products for kids are so well designed, it's not surprising to want the latest baby gadgets...and why not? This is part of the fun in having kids. Babygadget, a publication of PopLife Media, hunts around for new, innovative, fun, sometimes wacky or highly functional and smartly designed products for little ones. But we're more than just a shopping guide. Babygadget shows you where designers and companies are going in their constant quest for innovation. These are definitely not the same baby gadgets you and your mom grew up with.

Jenna Park, Creative Director, Editor-in-Chief
jenna@babygadget.net
Jenna is a Brooklyn-based, work-at-home designer and art director, craft enthusiast, and mom of 2 girls. Since becoming a mom, she has redirected her love of fashion and gadget purchases to her girls, spending countless hours "researching" (shopping) for new and interesting things to amuse herself and her kids with. Jenna is the creative director of PopLife Media and a regular contributer on Popgadget, as well as a graphic designer working mostly in the museum and arts sectors, including recent projects for the Smithsonian Institution and Oxygen Media. Earlier this year, she founded a Brooklyn-based bakery called Whimsy & Spice with her pastry chef husband. Pre-baby, she was founder and editor of an Asian American webzine (eatsquid.net), a designer in the cosmetics industry, a sound and video designer for theater, and a one-time elf at Macys Santaland.

Gabriela Poma Traynor, Editor
Sword in hand and baby on hip, Gabriela has joined the legions of work-at-home moms to stay close to her brood of three while typing away on her computer as a freelance writer and editor for various publications. A natural hunter-gatherer, she loves searching for obscure objects, finding them, acquiring them and then accumulating them in a “safe” place. Additional interests include aromatherapy, flower arranging and cookery. Pre-babies, she has worked in the non-profit sector as a consultant for an international foundation and as a university lecturer in her native El Salvador.

Myfanwy Nixon, Editor, Europe
Without ever meaning to, Myf fits into a whole lot of modern-day clichés: older mum, working mum, and main breadwinner mum. Myf is mother to a little girl, born January 2005. Before this benign dictator came into her life, she worked as a Search Editor for Lycos and MSN, and did an MA in Illustration. Now she works full time as a Web Editor for a global chain of language schools. Her special pleasure is in finding beautiful graphics and illustrations, and one day, she hopes to create picture books herself.
