From A Creative Dabbler To Pro Calligrapher - In 6 Months Time
Mian was a burned-out, unhappy tax lawyer who had quit calligraphy — twice. She had dabbled in it as a kid after her dad bought her a calligraphy set, and again as an adult - but her confidence got the best of her.
After adding the titles of lawyer, wife, and mother, calligrapher got pushed to the back burner. But with one brave, “I’m a calligrapher!” proclamation to a fellow creative years after her first pen stroke, Mian found her voice & finally got noticed.
Within six months of taking my course, she was doing live calligraphy for Louis Vuitton and Valentino. Oh, and she just made $5K in one week.
Listen to my follow up with Mian to learn:
(1:57) How Mian got into calligraphy as a kid, and carried it into adulthood
(3:10) The calligraphy “pause” - how it happens to everyone eventually (but doesn’t diminish your true self)
(5:27) How the Pro Calligrapher Bundle created a confident roadmap now, and for years to come
(14:45) What one moment of “yes” can amount to
(19:00) Update on Mian and her $5k week!
If you've ever talked yourself out of your own creative dream, this one's for you (because that little voice in the back of your head still deserves to be heard).

ABOUT CROOKED CALLIGRAPHY
Hey - I'm Shinah! A former miserable corporate lawyer turned sassy calligrapher and teacher. Ten years ago, I was WISHING I could create beautiful calligraphy but feeling really un-creative and LOST about how to achieve that... and now I truly believe that ANYONE can learn this beautiful craft - because I've already taught it to THOUSANDS of people, from all different backgrounds.
Calligraphy has given me a gorgeous life. It's helped my students find PASSION, PURPOSE, and a reason to JUMP OUT OF BED each morning. What could it do for you? =)
