About
For the Love of Writing
Hi! I'm Tania, the 'team' behind PAPERICOT!
I created PAPERICOT to share planner designs I couldn't find in the market.
While I've personally always preferred to keep calendar events and reminders synced on my phone, I am a HUGE fan of writing down endless notes, ideas, and project tasks. The flow of creativity by pen and paper just can't be matched by typing or digital notes.
Whether its problem-solving, task or project planning, brainstorming or just drawing out a diagram, my mountains of worn out notebooks are filled to the brim with what I'd like to call 'creative wisdom'.
But as the years went on, I felt the increasing desire for some structure and organisation for my notes. In 2023, for the first time, I used a dated planner for the year, instead of a blank notebook. Yep, for the first time! I loved the general structure, but I was sorely missing the expansive writing space, and I couldn't stop thinking about a fusion between the two...
PAPERICOT was born to fill a gap, for those who
- love writing down plans, notes and ideas by hand
- might be using a physical planner alongside a calendar app or digital planner
- want the simplicity and joy of using a time-keeping planner - without feeling burdened or pressured by it!
The Philosophy
PAPERICOT planners are designed for flexibility and 'open space', akin to a notebook, to ensure you can have your input in your planner. Our aim is to help you stay organized and nurture your creativity.
We want our planners to help you as a companion - never restrict or pressure you.
Whether its for your work, your side hustle, your personal journey or for a passion, you'll appreciate the balance of structure and freedom in our designs.
