Do Not Disturb!!, 2024. Silkscreen print, 12 x 16 in.
In a world where digital tools and processes dominate our daily
lives, there’s something deeply meaningful about putting pen to
paper — a simple yet powerful act that fosters creativity, organization,
and self-reflection. My capstone explores the intersection of
fine art and functionality through hazybluedays, a stationery brand
that merges my passion for printmaking with the art of journaling.
Through thoughtfully crafted products, I hope to create not only
practical tools but also pieces that inspire a deeper connection to
the analog experience.
A key part of this brand is my love for printmaking and its
rich textures, layered details, and imperfections that make each
piece feel unique. By incorporating printmaking elements, I want
my stationery to feel personal and playful, featuring patterns and
details that bring warmth to everyday moments.
This project is also shaped by my seven years of journaling,
from which I’ve learned how structured yet visually engaging layouts
can transform the way we plan, reflect, and express ourselves.
At its heart, my stationery serves as a bridge between
my fine art practice and a broader audience, inviting people to
embrace the beauty of handcrafted design in their daily lives.
Whether for productivity, introspection, or artistic exploration, I
want my products to inspire meaningful moments on paper. By
blending printmaking, graphic design, and my personal experiences,
I hope to create and explore stationery as not only a tool
for organization, but a medium for expression, creativity, and
quiet inspiration.
