Sometimes you need a little help to get organized. And there’s nothing like putting pen to paper to get your brain on the right track (sorry, Notes app, you just don’t come close). We’re following founder Allison Williams’ lead and leaving one of these minimal pads in every room.
Meet The Founder
ALLISON WILLIAMS
Allison Williams had accomplished all the career goals she had set for herself—she was the co-founder of a successful branding firm. And yet, she wasn’t happy in her day-to-day at work. “I wanted to pivot to making my own designs and putting them out there in the world, not creating designs that solved my clients’ needs.” So she did—in her 50s, no less.
In 2016 Williams launched her first product, a copper-plated Self-Inking Stamper with coordinating copper edged notepads and testing the idea at a pop-up before committing full-time.
Williams is uncompromising when it comes to aesthetics and function. “I grew up eating Chinese takeout on Herend Rothschild china—my mom’s attitude was, if it’s good enough for your mouth, it's good enough for a nice plate. To this day, I believe that every object in your daily life should be visually pleasing, no matter how inconsequential.”
