Design Your Own Wedding
Of course, you could hire someone to design your wedding for you, but why pay thousands of dollars when you can learn everything you need to know to do it yourself? If you’ve got an expensive taste, but a tight budget, I hear you. I chose to DIY my own wedding design and I’m a big advocate for it. Don’t get me wrong, tackling all of the design for your own wedding is a massive undertaking, but given the appropriate amount of time and patience, I believe you too can DIY a beautiful and memorable wedding!

Make an Impression
If you have a social media presence and you’re looking to increase engagement, consider enhancing your feed with hand-lettered graphics. Photography on its own can get old and these days, people want more share-worthy content. Inspire your community with posts so beautiful, that they’ll want to save them. After all, “At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel” (Maya Angelou).

Boost Your Confidence
Mastering a new skill increases my assurance that I can, in fact, do hard things. I won’t sugarcoat it, lettering isn’t easy. Nonetheless, I believe those who are committed can accomplish great things. When I first started lettering, I was terrible at it, but I kept practicing because I knew that everyone starts in the same place. Growing up, I admired artists like Jessica Hische, Mary Kate McDevitt, and Dana Tanamachi. It was their stories and the stories of those who went before them that inspired me to keep pursuing my dreams.

Refuel Your Creativity
Sometimes a little nudge in the right direction goes a long way. Hand lettering might be the skill you didn’t know you needed to spark lost creativity. If you’re feeling depleted and bored, you’re not alone. We can so easily get caught up in the busyness of day-to-day life that we forget to take a break and do something for ourselves — which is a recipe for burnout. I believe everyone needs a creative outlet to relax and enjoy during their downtime. If you can’t remember the last time you did something artistic for yourself, this workshop is just the ticket.

When you become not just an observer, but a participant in the lettering community, you’ll build a strong network of like-minded creatives. We are advocates for the flourishment and success of one another. There’s nothing quite like it. I want you to learn hand lettering because I want you to experience being a part of the creative community. In the world of art, there are so many opportunities to build genuine connections.
