**ABOUT CROOKED CALLIGRAPHY**
Hey - I'm Shinah! A former miserable corporate lawyer turned sassy calligrapher and teacher.
Six 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? =)
