Founder, The Baby Einstein Company

Julie Clark founded The Baby Einstein Company in 1997. Her goal was to provide fun, interactive ways to expose her own babies to the arts and humanities, subjects that were important to her as a former English teacher. Julie’s first two videos, Baby Einstein and Baby Mozart, were filmed in her basement using borrowed equipment and edited on a home computer.

Baby Einstein videos received accolades for giving infants and toddlers a way to experience joy and laughter through classical music, poetry, nature and art. Five years, ten videos and 30 children’s books later, Julie sold Baby Einstein to The Walt Disney Company.

In 2004, at age 37, Julie received a new title: breast cancer survivor. As a breast cancer survivor, she is a proud supporter of the Pink Ribbon Foundation, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that provide funds to cancer patients.

Julie currently lives in Colorado with her husband and two daughters. Along with her business interests, she continues to teach literature and poetry to middle school students.
