Back to my paper roots

I can’t believe it’s been over ten years since I designed my first organizational notepad. Back then I was looking for a way better to organize my days/weeks/meals, etc but wasn’t finding what I needed. So, I decided to design something myself! Little did I know that these special notepads were about take off and become my best sellers. In fact, they got such great feedback, that a very well known and MASSIVE retail company reached out to sell one of my designs (then ended up ripping it off instead). This company is dead to me now. Ah, but I digress.

Since then I have created all different lines of these notepads, with varying designs and purposes. They have been purchased for celebrities even, hence the naming of one “The Jessica Alba Collection”. Subtle, huh?

The latest collection was created for my new favorite small business, right here in central New York. The shop is called Northbound Mind + Body Shop, nestled in the heart of the village of Minoa. I couldn’t be prouder to have my products displayed on the shelves of this thoughtfully curated haven of holistic products, services, and events that promote mental and physical health, and the collective well-being of our community. (Pretty much the POLAR OPPOSITE mission than that of the above not-to-be-named corporate retail monster.)

I am honored that Northbound has offered to host a pop-up event for Annie Taylor Design on Saturday, June 8th. PLEASE come by. I just know you will love this place and the entire vibe. Click here for more details.

If you aren’t local to the Syracuse, NY area or you can’t make the pop-up, and you’d like to purchase any of my notepads or prints, don’t fret! Just reach out to me to arrange an order.

Thanks for reading, friends.
Annie xo
