Hi! I'm Lisa, a modern calligrapher in the Columbus Ohio area.  I'm so excited to be part of the Sip Squad, many of whom inspired me as I scrolled through social media during the lockdowns of 2020.  I finally picked up my own pen in late 2021 as a therapeutic escape from the world's pandemic chaos. After a couple of years of practice, calligraphy expanded to hand engraving and, most recently, hot foiling. The impact of personalization was instilled in me at a young age by my Mom, who always had my name stamped or engraved on school supplies, notebooks, mugs and glassware, books and Bibles.  It gave me a sense of my name being important! When I work with someone to personalize a gift, it not only helps them express their heart to the recipient, but it lets the recipient know how special they are to the giver.  It's a win-win. When I don't have a pen or cup of coffee in my hand, I enjoy walking my three dogs, singing with my church's worship team, riding bikes or geocaching with my family, and watching the latest superhero or disaster movie.

I'm looking forward to sharing my lettering obsession with new people in classes, so drop me a line at sipandscript.lisa@gmail.com!
