My Stationery Life
I’ve hoarded stickers, pens, and blank journals for as long as I can remember, but, over time, this fascination with stationery became a social, shared hobby that inspired and enabled me to:
- co-host monthly planner meetups for 5-20+ attendees
- make friends and pen pals all over the world
- give my first interview ever on The Stationery Cafe Podcast
- become a top 1% Twitch streamer in 2022 for the Makers and Crafting category, streaming my daily practice of decorating and filling out my planners and journals live for four months
- attend planner & stationery cons in Asia and North America
- complete and learn from a year-long stationery “no-buy” in 2022
