Finding an idea and creativity space with PLOTTER – Brad Dowdy

Plotter USA

I was fortunate to be part of the Plotter USA pilot program this summer, which gave me an early look at this great notebook system being brought to the US market from Japan. I enjoyed being part of the program, and I especially enjoyed the notebook!

As I wrapped up my time, I sat with April Wu to discuss my stationery background, my current work, and my plans for Plotter going forward. Check out the article here. My thanks to April and the entire Plotter team for letting me be part of the launch.
