Back in 2016 Lauren got sucked into watching calligraphy videos on instagram, it was so soothing to watch the nibs move. After watching enough videos she figured "I could do that" and started practicing. She started posting her progress on instagram and then friends started asking her to make things for their weddings, houses, presents etc. She started The Pointed Birch as a hobby but it quickly spiraled into learning all about hand lettering and eventually a laser cutter. True to her ADHD form she doesn't specialize in one particular area but primarily works on day-of wedding signage, home decor, and engraving. Lauren recently took her business full time and is excited for the next step of the journey by teaching others with Sip & Script!

Follow along with her on Instagram @thepointedbirch, on Etsy at The Pointed Birch, through her website www.thepointedbirch.com, or at one of the upcoming metro Detroit Sip & Script events!
