N8's Story

Welcome to N8’s ABC Animals!
I’m Nate Hausmann and I’m a young autistic entrepreneur. Please explore my website! Here’s the story of how my book came to be... |
|
As a toddler, I was fascinated with the alphabet & animals. Then an intense interest in drawing animals took hold during elementary school. In middle school, I began my tradition of illustrating one-of-a-kind personalized animal alphabet books as baby gifts for family & friends. Over the next few years I created dozens of ABC animal books for my family & friends’ newest lil’ blessings. Besides really loving the process of drawing my ABC Animals, I also really love being able to create these completely unique and treasured keepsakes.

After graduating from high school, I began working with Dr. Jo Monroe at the Frances Center for Customized Employment (FCCE), where I began learning how to run my own small business at the Finds & Fixes Thrift & Gift Store. (check out — videos)
Shortly after I starting to work with Jo, she encouraged me to consider other ways that I could use my artwork in my business. So as I was repainting & refurbishing various furniture, I began decorating the pieces with my ABC animals. Incorporating my original art into my Frances Center projects quickly became my trademark.

In 2014, I began work on my first book for mass publication, an illustrated English/Hebrew animal alphabet book with its whimsically endearing color-pencil-drawn animals, set in charming watercolor habitats. (check out ABC אבג ANIMALS to see & hear me tell the story of how that book came to be)
