My love for calligraphy started in 2016 when I stumbled on a video of someone doing calligraphy. Watching how someone can transformed a simple word into a beautifully writing with just a pen and paper, truly amazed me. I was curious to try and see if I could do it too. It didn’t turn our great but I was determined to keep trying, and find my own signature calligraphy writing.

Which lead me to getting my first ever wedding client in 2020. My sister’s friend wanted to take a chance on me—someone with no experience in the wedding industry, but as I was determined to keep practicing my calligraphy writing, I took the chance to why not write for others and keep going.

I found the love for writing in calligraphy and have made my services unique by hand-lettering all my work. All cursive writing are my own signature calligraphy writing, that I have mastered and practiced since I started. It truly is a piece of my own artwork that I get to showcase and share to my clients. It’s always the best feeling when I’m able to create pieces of my artwork that is special for someone’s weddings, birthdays or any celebrations.

Fun Facts About Me

1. Apart from my love of calligraphy, my love for being an architect is still my life long dream.

I am also a full-time Architectural Technologist working at DIALOG. During the day I am an office lady working on technical drawing on her 8-5 shift and in the evening I put my creative band on and work as a signage & stationery.

2. I am obsessed with coffee, if there is an option for coffee flavour I always choose that

I have my own espresso Breville machine and love being a barista at my own home. My type of collections are trying out different coffee beans from different local coffee shops, especially from places I’ve traveled to.

3. A huge (but not that huge) anime fan, I’ve seen some of the OGs but not all.

My whole family are anime lovers so it’s in our blood to love them, but truthfully I love watching the artwork. It’s an artwork my brush pens could do but I went into the calligraphy path instead. It always fascinated me what simple pens and paper can do.
