How did you fall down the rabbit hole of fountain pens and stationery? AKA, the moment that made you fall in love with writing tools and supplies.
I saw a documentary on a famous writer, and they showed his gorgeous fountain pen collection... I decided to try one for myself, and I've been fountain pen collecting ever since.
What do you do for work? Is there any way this hobby is intermingled with your work?
I am a writer and lover of words and stories.
My fountain pen journey began five years ago when I received my first fountain pen: a purple and white Pilot Kakuno. As a writer, fountain pens are so helpful with the creative process, but also such an encouraging reminder to value creativity, imagination, and self expression.
What else are you in to that you would like to share with people to better know you?
I love to go for nature walks with my mom and sisters, reading horror and science fiction, stargazing and collecting crystals.
What words/quote would you like to share to other aspiring creatives?
"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars." - Casey Kasem
What do you believe is the best starter fountain pen? Where should people start?
Pilot Kakuno! The stainless steel nib is so smooth and good quality, and the price is perfect for beginners.
What's your go-to pen and ink combo?
The Benu Talisman Tiger's Eye and Diamine Autumn Oak! This pen and ink combo makes me so happy, and it's the best way to begin journaling in the autumn.
What's your favorite color? :)
Plum purple and cocoa brown.
