Although she grew up drawing and painting, her creative life took a hiatus in adulthood while she pursued a technology career. In 2015, she fell in love with the art of calligraphy and hand lettering and her fingers have been inky ever since. When she is not lettering you can find her near the ocean enjoying time with her husband, infant daughter, and their French Bulldogs. Follow her on Instagram @wednesdayswelldesign
