ABOUT CASE STUDY
Case Study is run by two designers who believe in keeping things thoughtful and close to home. Our studio is based in Santa Cruz, California, and our products are printed just down the street by a local print shop we work closely with. Every piece is designed, proofed, and produced with care by people who genuinely love making helpful tools for people who think on paper.
☺︎ ✏︎ ✴ ⚘ ☾ ✂︎
Unlike digital tools, seeing our thoughts laid out on paper encourages consistency, presence, and follow-through. The tactile experience of writing with a pen, flipping through a calendar, or checking tasks off our list keeps us focused and engaged. When those tools are beautiful, they inspire us to be more productive, too!
