EPISODE 103 - Surprising Calligraphy Jobs

What Dungeons & Dragons, Disney, And $300 Scotch Bottles Have In Common

“There is this whole category where old handwritten notes in calligraphy are useful - and really needed.” - Shinah

Not many people realize calligraphy goes WAYYYY beyond weddings – and is growing exponentially in almost every place possible.

From presidential (and royal) calligraphers, to highly specialized pieces for celebrities & T.V. shows (Bridgerton anyone?), simple “pen and paper” items only scratch the surface of this industry – as well as the things I’ve made throughout my 9 years as a professional calligrapher.

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 of the COOLEST projects I’ve had the pleasure of penning. I’m also diving into:

  • How these unique projects found their way into my portfolio

  • Some of the new categories & places calligraphy has started to appear that you’d NEVER think was possible

  • Why networking is such a powerful tool

  • Ways to expand your thinking and find unique jobs outside of the wedding industry

In a world that is busy making technological advances every second, so many people are looking for ways to slow down and return to the simple ways of the past – and calligraphy fits the bill for just that. I hope this episode opens your eyes as to just some of the cool places calligraphy can take you (and make you money!).
