I have been immersed in calligraphy for over a decade, although my fascination with letters began back in primary school. Today, lettering is my passion and my profession in one. For more than seven years now, I have been teaching calligraphy workshops for children, teenagers, and adults. Although I never planned on becoming a teacher, teaching others the art of crafting beautiful letters brings me immense joy and satisfaction.

I just love finding practical applications for calligraphy. Rather than poring over medieval manuscripts, I prefer writing diplomas, thank-you notes, restaurant menus, signs, and pavement signs.
 I have written on helmets, shoes, T-shirts, shop windows, walls, and even people. Yes, I’ve taken my calligraphy to skin, as I’m now diligently learning the challenging art of tattooing.

Beyond calligraphy, I also draw—primarily for my two daughters, but I take on more grown-up assignments as well.
