Our Story

Stepping boldly into a world of color

My journey began aged 12 when, convinced I was going to be the next great writer of my time, I bought my first Moleskin. The story that filled those pages will probably never be published but my obsession with notebooks, pens, and any other stationery goods I could lay my hands on, was born.

I soon discovered that the stationery aesthetic is typically one of florals, pastels, and cutesy characters. Beautiful, sure, but not really me. I spent several building a book-reading, stationery-loving community on Instagram that showed me that I was not the only one. So armed with nothing but an iPad, some good quality paper, and an industrial paper-cutter, I decided to make stationery products with bold and vibrant patterns and colors that represent us.

Bringing you the best

Demand and growth mean that I have outgrown my at-home workshop and partner with manufacturers to bring you high quality items to elevate your reading and note taking experience. I've even been able to expand into gifts and accessories created with meticulous care and attention to detail.

But in a world where AI is churning out uncanny designs, every single item in store is design by my hands. Each design is a celebration of my African heritage and a representation of the beauty and diversity of African art and culture at home and in the diaspora.
