About

Pocket Time Capsule is a project started by Kathryn Semerau and Benedikt Reynolds. It all began with a surprise 10-year old letter Kathryn received in the mail from her 18 year-old self, right after graduating high school. It brought good chuckles, and some eye-opening reflection: “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”

A letter is a snapshot of your thoughts, a real piece of who you are and how you change. We want to help you capture these moments, to write something you can treasure, and create a time capsule that allows you to see how far you’ve come.
