About Me

I am the event calligrapher behind Marmade Design Co. 

My first introduction to lettering began in my grandmother's living room. Before I even knew what calligraphy was, she taught me the importance of beautiful penmanship. Between homework assignments and Sailor Moon episodes, I'd draw and make up different handwriting styles for fun. 

Fast forward to 2015...
Seeking a creative outlet beyond my 9-to-5, I enrolled in a copperplate-style calligraphy class. From there, my interest in creating artful, elegant letters bloomed.  Learning calligraphy felt new and familiar to me, a practice that recalled my younger years of drawing letters, and it refueled my desire to create. In many ways, my calligraphy journey feels like a homage to my grandmother, carrying forward the love for hand lettering she instilled in me all those years ago.

In 2018, I officially launched Marmade Design Co. to offer my calligraphy services for weddings and special occasions. Over time, my work evolved to include on-site services such as engraving and hot foiling, allowing me to create personalized experiences for a wide range of clients. I've had the joy of partnering with brands such as Anthropologie, Dolce & Gabbana, & Saint Laurent to bring thoughtful, hand-lettered designs to life.
