In this episode I interview THE Mica May of May Designs. May Designs is a lifestyle brand specializing in customized notebooks, stationery, and more! At the core of Mica’s company, they are a team wanting to bring joy to the everyday moments in life. The flagship product is the May Book, a simple notebook that can be customized to reflect your style; their notebooks come in three different sizes, it lays flat and fits nicely in your purse!
The heart behind each product they create is to allow you to create something that makes you inspired to be YOU! They hope to guide you down a little online trail of magic as you design something over your very own.
May Designs has been named one of Oprah's Favorite Things, and has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Real Simple, Austin Women and has been included in Birchbox and Popsugar boxes nationwide.
Back in 2009, Mica May decided life was too short for ugly notebooks. A graphic designer by trade, she whipped up some patterned notebooks for herself, and began using them and taking them to client meetings. People began to take notice of her notebooks and started calling them “May” books, after her namesake.
Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Mica decided that these whimsical notebooks she was making could be scaled for the masses, so she launched a second company called May Books, which eventually changed its name to May Designs.
Through the years, the company has grown and expanded into other product lines and is actively pursuing being a lifestyle brand. She believes that every day moments should be lovely, so the company is on a mission to make all of life’s normal activities just a little bit more magical.
I saw Mica speak on a panel at the Current conference I attended in Austin back in September. Blown away by her charisma and story of true passion and grit I asked her if she would be on the show and share her story with all of YOU! In this episode we chat all things what it was like to get started building your own company, what led up to Mica’s big Good Morning America Moment, how she balances motherhood and entrepreneurship and what's coming up for her Trailblazer retreat in 2020.
