I am not a product designer. I am not an industrial engineer. I am a lawyer and startup founder who is a watch fan who loves to make new things. Papar is the story of learning as I designed a watch and built a wholistic brand, alongside my partner Emily - Papar’s Chief Creative Officer - and found other very talented people to help along the way! In spite of all of them, I still managed to make a whole lot of dumb mistakes - can I interest anyone in a GMT with only 12 indices?! Fortunately, and thanks in large part to those people, I managed to make some smart decisions as well.

I’ve loved every step along the way, and hope my experience encourages you on your journey to do something you’re excited by!
