I’m stuck at home with my *then* newly named fiancé, and in dire need of a new hobby. If you know me, you know that I have ALWAYS had a new craft or hobby at the ready. Nothing really ever stuck or felt like my niche until I met calligraphy. I found a free class online, and the rest is history. I couldn’t put down the pen. I’ve always had an affinity for words, all things pretty, and the cutest stationery supplies. This truly felt like fate. 

I decided I wanted to create some of the details for our own wedding and I officially fell in love.

From there, I had some great friends and family support me by trusting my newbie self to create some special things for them. I gained clients little by little and got what I would consider my first big wedding in May of 2022. Seriously crazy to think that’s just a year ago. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, LETTERED BY SHI!!! 

On the day-to-day, I absolutely love creating for you and your most special moments. It brings me so much joy and satisfaction that I feel I’ve been missing in my life for too long. I am ever grateful that I get to spend my days doing something I truly love. In addition to the creating portion, I absolutely love the “humanness” in the experiences and exchanges that I have with my clients. Getting to know you, your love stories, and what’s important to you is what brings this all full circle. In addition to that work, a little fact about me is that I’m also a Bilingual Resource Teacher at an Elementary School. My second language is Spanish and I get to work part-time with my other passion in this life, education. 

I really don’t love the spotlight, so I’ll be short and sweet in sharing a little list of some of the things I love, apart from calligraphy and growing my beloved biz: 

• A good book. Specifically, fiction. After my Master’s Program in Curriculum & Instruction, I need a good and long respite from the Non-Fiction Genre
• A nice walk in nature with my sweet pup, Parker, and hubby by my side 
• Cooking, exercising, four-wheeling, being up north, painting for funsies 
• Reality TV 🙂 Specifically, Vanderpump Rules or The Real Housewives. No drama in my life, please, but I am here for ALL the drams that these shows give
• A nice Red Blend or a great cup of coffee
• Shopping, obv 
• Most importantly, spending time with my people. Family and friends that are family mean absolutely everything to me

So, that’s me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading, thanks so much for being here, and don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to get to know you and chat. 

xx, shi
