Calligraphy Services & Classes
Bespoke Calligraphy
We live in a world where mostly everything is computer generated. Receiving a personalised, beautifully written gift makes all the difference. Handwritten letters connect you with the recipient, messages the heart, and leaves a great impression. Seeing people’s responses to their name appearing on a personalised gift -“ live” – is just awesome. I love how special they feel!
I work on commissions for brands and individuals and cater for all your lettering and calligraphy requirements.

One On Ones
If you are a calligraphy and lettering student and you want one on one tuition or need personal advice about a technical aspect of lettering, a tool, you want me to mentor you on a project, or you simply want to bounce an idea around, I have created one on ones especially for these requests.
Letter Art
Calligraphy with a twist – traditional calligraphy, borderline lettering art and everything in between. Experimental line pieces are my passion. I have exhibited all over the world, and have work in permanent collections in Brugge, San Francisco and Moscow. I blend art and letters and incorporate the history of art into my works to tell the story from the perspective of the letter.
