pencilmade

pencilmade is a design studio founded by artist and designer Emily Williams. The studio focuses on creating handcrafted stationery and paper goods with a distinctive aesthetic. Their product line typically includes notebooks, journals, greeting cards, and art prints, all characterized by hand-drawn illustrations and a muted color palette.

Williams began pencilmade in 2015, initially selling her work at local craft fairs and online marketplaces. The brand gained traction for its unique artistic style and commitment to quality materials. Products are often printed on recycled paper and feature original artwork by Williams, which frequently incorporates botanical elements and whimsical characters.

The studio emphasizes a slow-design approach, prioritizing thoughtful creation and attention to detail over mass production. This philosophy is reflected in the tactile quality and personal touch evident in each item. pencilmade aims to offer products that are not only functional but also inspire creativity and bring a sense of calm and beauty to everyday use. The studio has since expanded its reach through collaborations and wholesale partnerships, making its designs available to a wider audience.
