One-on-one Mentorships and Calligraphy Lessons
When not immersed in my own projects, I work one-on-one with lettering artists looking to take their next steps. I offer online sessions via Zoom, focusing on iPad calligraphy in Procreate and business mentorships for those looking to turn a creative hobby into a freelance career.
Business Mentorship
If you’re a lettering artist thinking about starting—or getting serious about—a business, I can help. In our 60-minute virtual sessions, I’ll walk you through how to:
set prices for your services and policies for your business (e.g. setup fees, rush fees, shipping arrangements, etc.)
take on commercial work with confidence
market your business on a budget
teach your first classes
transition from analog to digital lettering services
promote digital products (e.g. classes, brushes, etc.)

Procreate Calligraphy Lesson
Whether you’re just beginning or ready to refine your iPad lettering, a virtual Procreate calligraphy session is a focused, effective way to sharpen your skills and expand your creative range. In our 60-minute lesson, we can work on:
mastering foundational calligraphy skills like pen pressure, grip, and arm movement
polishing intermediate to advanced techniques like flourishing, letter connections, and uppercase letters
troubleshooting anything technical hurdles you have
building confidence with digital tools—from brush selection to designing for print
