Polka Dates
A perpetual desk calendar and modular notebook system
Polka Dates combines a perpetual desk calendar with six individual notebooks in one compact product. I conceived it as an alternative to short-lived calendars and disposable packaging. The outer case continues to serve a purpose, while each notebook can be removed and used independently.
I developed the product concept, physical structure, calendar system, notebook collection, cover graphics, and overall packaging experience. I designed each component to feel distinct while remaining part of one coordinated stationery system.
