Our Story
Think on Paper .Co was started by Bruce Eimon, a long time veteran of the Silicon Valley. While working in the forefront of the digital revolution (Oracle, Yahoo, Adobe, Twitter), he became increasingly aware of the vast gap between people's willingness to spend a fortune on their mobile digital tools, while not thinking twice about the poor quality of their office supplies. Think on Paper .Co is dedicated to introducing high quality, reasonably priced Japanese stationery products to the American market to solve this problem.
