Custom calligraphy

I practice modern calligraphy, a lovely form with contrasting thick-and-thin strokes.

Old-fashioned materials, modern results

I use pointed pen and ink, as well as brush pens, paint pens, and markers, to achieve the look my client needs.

Digital hand-lettering

I also work digitally using Procreate and my iPad to create smooth hand-lettered designs that are easy to incorporate into your next blog, logo, or social media.

Myriad of surfaces

I love a challenge! I have put calligraphy on many types of surfaces, including:

  • Sneakers

  • Unfired clay with ceramic glaze

  • Brick wall mural

  • House siding

  • Porcelain ornaments

  • Glass wine bottles

  • Shop display windows
