The best ideas always come when there are no distractions.

— Michel Jahn

the beginning

paper has always been my tool.

i'm michel. i've designed for screens for a decade. but every real idea i had started somewhere else. on paper. in mornings before anything else was on.

i made mindpaper because the notebooks i wanted didn't exist. small enough to carry around, perforated pages, a pen loop, and a beautiful cover. and a brand with the right vibe.

Jean-Remy von Matt & Me

I had the opportunity to meet Jean-Remy at an event. His reaction to the first concept paper was the biggest encouragement I’ve had to build and further develop this brand.

mindpaper development

I've really tested so many notebooks, tried out so many features, and discarded so many. mindpaper is the result of all those learnings.
