My Background

The art of beautiful writing started with an interest in gorgeous fountain pens and exquisite inks that quickly transitioned into calligraphy and the art of flourishing letters from thick swells to the finest hairlines with a dip pen that no fountain pen could do.  It’s a gratifying personalized touch and an artful expression.

My Services

My services range from on-site Event Calligraphy for Brand activation, special Corporate or VIP events to custom calligraphy (poems, quotes, corporate greeting cards, envelopes). My style is a modern calligraphy with a traditional influence.

“Kikumi” is my middle name and it loosely translates as “a beautiful flower” and more specifically, a reference to a chrysanthemum, which coincidentally, is one of my favourite flowers. 

I’d love to work with you!
