Staying true to your unique identity, with Katie Leamon

Hashtag Authentic Podcast - Episode 116

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
