Welcome to Order She Wrote! I'm Joanna and I am She. Lettering (and what I used to call "fancy writing") started as a hobby I could do while performing, and is now a full-time small business! I consider myself lucky I have a career as a creative, and I'm able to share this craft with my friends, my family, and people from all around the world. 

10 years ago, I started my business in New York City. But as of 2023 I have returned home to where I grew up, started a family, and now I’m a calligrapher in Washington DC. I still return to NYC to work with clients and also love to travel for work to lend my right hand to weddings and events, both incredibly grand and heart-wrenchingly intimate. 

I am often asked what I love so much about hand lettering. I love making pretty things with my hands. I love problem-solving and fitting new aesthetics. I love how fast you grow with practice, and that each project is so different. But I also love that someone can clearly see how much love and thoughtful work was put into giving them this special gift; something for them to open, see and enjoy. When they run their fingers over the dried ink, they can see handmade love and think, "Wow, someone made this by hand!"
