For creatives, paper and paper products emit an instant feeling of inspiration. The textures, the colors, the weights, and the sounds are all part of the experience. Alan Xu tapped into these experiences and created a conceptual stationery line that focuses on the details in great measure. The result is a line of products and packaging that feels inspired, especially by the traditions and aesthetics rooted in eastern watercolor stylizations. Alan’s entire branding system feels complete, sturdy, and inspired.
