Hello, I'm Vivian.
I am a graphic designer and hand-lettering artist based in New York.
I have been working as a graphic designer for more than a decade. I started practice calligraphy as a way to balance my digital-heavy work life, and I truly believe there is something magically calming in the art of writing with pen on paper.
I believe we all have something to share with and learn from each other. I hope in sharing my knowledge and experience we will all benefit and learn along the way!
