Because running the space and doing freelance work apparently wasn't enough, last year Doumet created her own product, the Focus Journal, a task notebook designed to make its users more productive. She workshopped the journal with L'atelier's clients before taking it to Kickstarter, where it raised $20,000 in a month. Doumet will end today by driving an order to a store across town. The notebooks can be found in various outlets around Vancouver, including Indigo. Each one contains a note from Doumet. “I put in thank-you cards that I designed myself,” she explains. “They say, `You are awesome.'” If the always-full L'atelier offices are any sign, the feeling from her customers is mutual.
