Hello! My name is Pia, and I live in North Orange County, CA with my husband, two kids, and goldendoodle. I have been a stationery and hand-lettering aficionado since I was young, collecting all the metallic, milky, and gel pens to use with my notebooks specifically chosen for the best paper quality! Growing up in the Philippines, penmanship was part of my school curriculum, so I am a big proponent of neat and beautiful handwriting. I started getting into calligraphy in preparation for my wedding in 2015, and launched Calligra.Pia in 2018. Since then, I have mostly done commission work and favors for friends and family, and it wasn't until 2024 that I decided to truly make Calligra.Pia a chance for me to create more and to share my love for the art of calligraphy and hand-lettering to those who want to learn and know more about it. Outside of calligraphy, I am a wife, mother, dogmom, and internal auditor. I love spending time with my kids; it's my favorite thing, and I hope to foster in them a love for creativity. I can't wait to meet you all and help you "flourish" with ink and paper! ;)
