The Story…
This planner has an unusual origin story.
It didn’t begin as a layout or a list of features. It started as… a font. Designing type is one of those slightly obsessive crafts where every curve matters and unexpected forms can emerge.
During an experimental phase with my in-progress fonts, my then-associates Christiane Mello, Karina de Oliveira and I developed a series of ornaments and patterns based on letterforms, which we released as collections here.
Shaped by transitions.
When our partnership ended and I moved from Seattle to New York, I picked up that experiment again. I began turning those letter-based patterns into monogrammed planners and notebooks. Designed & Done is the refinement and graduation of that first project, with Vine Craft and its derivative graphic elements running through it. If this planner feels like it has a playful, distinct voice of its own, maybe that’s why.
Created by someone who’s lived in draft mode.
As a creative and solopreneur, I’ve always needed a place to untangle my thoughts on paper. Planning this way has carried me through major transitions: moving countries, leaving and restarting businesses, trading corporate jobs for creative ones, and finding my footing as a mom. Every time life flipped the page on me, my planning practice brought clarity, reconnected me with my purpose, and kept me grounded.
Before any of that, I spent over a decade designing books.
Book design taught me how visual language can hold and expand a story, how mood and meaning live in something you can hold in your hands. Designing planners and journals felt like coming back to that familiar practice, but this time with the goal of creating space for other people’s stories.
Designed & Done was built with visual thinkers in mind: a balance of structure and freedom, with a quiet interior that lets your writing, sketching, and ideas stand out against its pages.
Designed & Done is a designer’s practice turned into a tool.
Printed on demand to reach anyone, anywhere without waste, it’s built by someone who’s lived in the creative trenches and knows what a planning companion actually needs to do: get out of your way and keep you moving, and remind you that progress counts—even when it’s messy.
Published as a hardcover with a velvety matte finish, in a 6×9" format with 176 pages on premium cream paper, it carries the presence of a book you’ll want to keep. Its colorful typographic cover brings a playful, energetic edge, while the interior shifts to calm: black and soft grays on a subtle dot-grid base offer structure without distraction. Generous space for writing, sketching, and drafting keeps it flexible, and a designated area on the cover and spine lets you title it yourself.
This balance of vibrant expression on the outside and clarity on the inside is designed to support how visual thinkers work: freely, with just enough structure to bring ideas to life.
Pattern Character Reveal
The pattern on each Designed & Done cover starts with an ampersand — literally. I created it using the & from my typeface Vine Craft, then deconstructed its counters and rotated the shapes to form something entirely new. It’s a small typographic experiment turned into a visual rhythm — a reminder that creativity often comes from reimagining what’s already there
