Stationery, Snuggles & Small Joys
Hi! I’m Alexis—designer, doodler, recovering perfectionist, and the foul-mouthed millennial behind Good Things.
I’m a 90s kid at heart (think Trapper Keepers, mixtapes, and the eternal magic of a well-timed AIM away message), and I wear my feelings like I wear my comfiest sweatshirt—loudly and often. I believe in soft starts, strong finishes, and the healing power of a perfectly timed “fuck it.”
I started Good Things in 2011 because I couldn’t find the kind of stationery I actually wanted to use. I wanted paper goods that felt like me: encouraging but honest. Cute but not cutesy. Functional but also fun as hell.
Here you’ll find notebooks, to-do lists, stickers, calendars, temporary tattoos, and whatever else I dream up—all designed to speak your language.
My style’s still evolving, and honestly? I love that. I like soft pastels and bold type. I mix sweet florals with swear words. I’m into pretty things, punchy things, experimental things—and I’m not afraid to try them all. Good Things is where all of that gets to live together. Messy. Magical. In progress. Just like me.
Outside of designing, I’ve been lucky enough to step foot on all seven continents (yes, even the frozen one), and that wanderlust shows up in everything I do—curious, colorful, and always looking for the little joys in the everyday.
And then there’s the real dream team:
Ollie, my gentle giant of a dog and resident emotional support expert, makes sure I get belly rub breaks and keeps our yard squirrel-free.
Boots, our much smaller but far bossier coworker, is the office shadow, the chaos gremlin, and the one most likely to interrupt a Zoom call with a strong opinion and zero shame. They are both my heart.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re here. And hey—whatever brought you here? That’s a good thing already.
