I started learning calligraphy in 2015, just when my elder son turned 2 years old. The learning curve was steep because I didn't know the basics, how to hold the brush pen and stuff.

But I persevered on and it took weeks and months of practice to figure out the basics on how to hold the calligraphy pen holder and dip the nib into the ink and write with a strength that will produce even thick downstrokes and steady thin up strokes.

I practiced real hard, 10 to 15 minutes every night, after putting my son to bed, to be able to write legibly. And finally (after 6 months of consistent practice), my words look somewhat decent! And from here on, the possibilities were endless!

I started writing names on Muji books and giving them to students (when I was still a teacher back then), writing cards for fellow colleagues, and writing quotes and wedding invites for friends and custom pieces for loved ones.

It was a joy to be able to bless those around me with my writing.

And in May 2016, a HUGE opportunity came my way! Muji approached me and invited me as a calligrapher to write for customers who want their names to be written in calligraphy on Muji books. *Gosh*... I hyperventilated when I was first approached and of course, I said yes! It was a dream come true for me! To be able to write in their beautiful space.
