Our Story

---

As an educator with a background in the IB Primary Years Programme, I saw firsthand the transformative power of the IB Learner Profile attributes in shaping young minds. These values—curiosity, resilience, open-mindedness, and more—are so much more than just words on paper. They’re essential qualities that guide our students to become empathetic, thoughtful, and globally-minded individuals.

Yet, I wanted to find a way to bring these attributes beyond the curriculum and into the very fabric of the classroom. I imagined tools that would keep the learner profile alive in every lesson, every reflection, and every interaction, making these values an integrated and essential part of both classroom culture and classroom "hardware."

This vision led to Ink And Intellect—a collection of stationery inspired by the IB Learner Profile. Our pencils, notebooks, and accessories are designed to serve as daily reminders of the values we strive to instill. Each product is crafted not only for practicality but also with the intention of sparking meaningful thought, fostering reflection, and nurturing bold, curious minds.

At Ink & Intellect, we believe that the right tools can help build a lifelong love for learning and encourage students to see the world—and themselves—through a compassionate, thoughtful lens. We’re here to support teachers and school leaders in empowering the next generation of change-makers, one pencil at a time.
