My story began with my father, Jonathon, the craftsman and founder of Carolina Pen Company. His dedication to creating handcrafted materials and pens helped spark the passion in me to continue a craft that is slowly fading out of existence. Through many very patient hours, he taught me how to create materials that were consistent and creative.

What grew from the knowledge I gained was more than a business, it became a form of alchemy. The gathering of the micas and dyes were my ingredients to a spell, the raw material they created transforming into tools of expression and creativity. Each piece we make carries that origin forward.

The journey my father started I now follow, though frequently down different rabbit holes. I aspire to continue to create not just materials, but the stories they will one day hold. In the end, these are more than just tools, they are the beginning of someone else’s story.

And now, the story continues… one pen, one material, one piece of quiet magic at a time. A spell that is never truly finished, simply passed from one set of hands to another. One that is carried forward in ink, inspiration, and intention.
