I have always loved stationery. From when I was a little girl with pigtails until now, I still cannot walk by a stationery aisle without looking at the products. I'm a massive notebook hoarder and planner freak so it's always been a dream for me to launch some sort of stationery line or brand that focuses on notebooks/planners/productivity tools. I have done absolutely 0 work for it so far but I'm confident one day I'm gonna put something out into the world!
PS. Good luck on getting your pilot license, what an awesome goal!
Wow, that's so unique! When you started talking about stationary, I thought it was leading toward getting better penmanship, working on fancy journal cover pages, or something along those lines. With the world we live in, getting prototypes made for something like this is much more doable than it used to be. I bet you can do it! Good luck :)
This is cool and super niche. I love that you have the vision.
May I recommend a start. Dropshipping is fairly easy and a great way to integrate scripting into a side hustle. Creating a store that dropships other company's products and eventually adding your own line is easier than it sounds, but takes persistence.

Pauline, this is so cool. Kate Matsudaira followed a similar path, from development to stationery. She runs Ink+Volt - it started with a single planner design and went from there. PS: I also love stationery.
