Staying true to your unique identity, with Katie Leamon

  • Summary

  • This week I talk to Katie Leamon, who turned her love of paper and pattern into her eponymous family-run stationery studio. Her notebooks have been a daily companion to me for many years, so it was really fun to chat with her about her designs, her process and the realities behind running a product-lead business with the family on board!

    Things we talk about:

    * Building from a home studio to printing and selling at scale

    * Designing products based on creative instinct

    * The rise of independent stationery makers and designers online

    * Selling wholesale vs. direct

    * Family business, and drawing the the lines between work and home life.

    * Taking time for creativity outside of work

    * Growing a team, and when to let things go

    * Katie’s new experiments in creating ceramic range

    * Launch strategies and learning from mistakes

    * Trusting your brand identity and staying authentic

    Links we mentioned:

    * My Substack Soiree class

    * Katie’s online store, Katie Leamon

    * Katie’s new ceramic range (I LOVE THIS CUP!)
