Meet Alexa Settles
Porter & Monrow began with a simple belief: an organized life doesn't have to be a perfect one.
In 2017, Alexa set out to create a planner for herself. With no background in stationery or manufacturing, she learned the business from the ground up—designing pages, navigating overseas production, sourcing materials, managing manufacturers and learning, often through trial and error, what it takes to turn an idea into a product people actually want to use.
What started as a personal project became a deeper realization: women didn't need another planner telling them how to optimize every minute of their lives. They needed beautiful, thoughtful tools that could help them make sense of the lives they were already living.
That idea became Porter & Monrow.
Today, Alexa is building P&M as more than a stationery brand. It's a planning system for women balancing full careers, businesses, families, ideas, responsibilities and everything in between.
Through Porter & Monrow, she creates timeless planning tools designed to bring more order, ease and intention to everyday life. Beautiful enough to leave on your desk, practical enough to live with. Because being organized isn't about doing everything, it's about knowing what matters.
The P&M Philosophy
We don't believe an organized life is a perfect one. We believe it's a life with room for what matters. In a world filled with digital noise, endless to-do lists, and constant distractions, our planning ecosystem offers tools to make life feel a little more intentional and a lot more manageable.
