CALLIGRAPHY

What began for me as a neat hobby quickly became one of the most fundamental parts of my day-to-day work practice. Calligraphy holds it's own special sort of magick, one that captivates viewers in it's elegantly written form. Projects have ranged from small commissioned pieces, to cafe menu design, and full suites of wedding stationery.

Interested in private commissions or collaborating?

I'm always interested in working with new clients of all sorts to explore their projects and bring them to life. I'm currently accepting bookings for wedding stationery components or suites as well as one-off commissioned work as wall art or even merchandise.

CUSTOM WEDDING STATIONERY

About:

In 2023 I got the chance to put my all into creating my own custom wedding stationery suite. I sketched and then wrote all of the invite and save the date calligraphy by hand as well as all scrollwork and filigree. Modern calligraphy with dipped pen was used for the envelopes, custom monogram sticker for invite closures.

Materials: Nikko-G nib with waterproof black ink, envelopes from Paper Source, Procreate for iPad, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop
