building a community through a shared love for stationery and journaling

I’ve always loved collecting stationery. When I discovered a community of people with the same interest and beloved hobby of mine, I decided to open this account on Instagram and TikTok. Filming content, interacting, and showing up to in-person events have brought a lot of joy to my life. Growing my account slowly overtime, I’ve gained such a deep appreciation for physical media and community building. I have since collaborated in brand partnerships and even hosted a journaling event with a friend.

My friend Jenna has been hosting journal clubs since the end of 2025. We floated the idea around since November of last year. When the opportunity came around, we found the perfect time to collaborate on an event in May.

EVENT DAY

table set up for the event

Each attendee received a name tag, drink topper, sticker, and sponsored stationery packs.

The event lasted 3 hours, where attendees brought their own journaling supplies and shared stationery with others.

At the end, we had a gallery walk to view everyone’s creations and i had a mini raffle to win a small stationery bag.

metrics & results

The event was a success with our 22 spots filling up within 5 minutes and had a waiting list of 10+ people. Our instagram post received positive engagement with over 8,000 views.
