About Nerdie Girl

Our Origin Story

Nerdie Girl began as a passion project and side hustle by Tracy Cook, the original Nerdie Girl. Growing up, Tracy searched for a place where she could truly belong as a female gamer, anime fan, and all-around fandom enthusiast. Nerdie Girl is that place — a home for every girl who embraces her love of fandom culture and wants to express it in style.

Meet Tracy Cook:
The Original Nerdie Girl

From watching anime in the ’90s to cosplaying at Comic Con, Tracy has always lived and breathed nerd culture. Gaming was a childhood passion that never faded, whether it was open-world role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, or even serving as Game Master for Tails of Equestria.

Board games and video games became a shared hobby with her husband, Kyle, while Saturday morning anime remains a family tradition.

After earning her MBA in Marketing, Tracy built her career in nonprofit marketing before founding Blue Beam Marketing, where she became owner and CEO of a successful digital agency. But her heart never left the world of fandom. Nerdie Girl was born from her dream to create a fun, welcoming online store where female gamers, anime lovers, and collectors could shop, discover, and connect.

Our Mission: A Space for Every Nerdie Girl

Nerdie Girl is more than an online shop — it’s a community built for women in fandom culture. While much of the gaming and nerd industry is geared toward men, Nerdie Girl was created to celebrate the voices and passions of women.

Here, you’ll find products that celebrate:

  • Anime culture (from classics to today’s favorites)

  • Gaming lifestyle (RPGs, board games, and digital adventures)

  • Fandom love (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pokémon, and more)

  • Collectibles & accessories designed to help you wear your fandom with pride
