Sometimes, while I’m typing away in my art studio or casually swapping out camera lenses, I get hit with it – the sudden realization that this is my life.

I get to do this for a living; making art, chasing my passions, and teaching the most incredible community of people on the internet.

What on earth led me here?

There are a few different factors that influenced this weird, colorful career path, but I can point to one in particular that played a big part: lettering.

Surprising, huh? It certainly was for me.

My lettering journey began with a simple desire: injecting bits of creativity into my daily routine by beautifying my bullet journal. Lettering, with its accessibility, beauty, and practicality, seemed like the perfect fit. At that point in my life, I had never gotten any particular hobby or craft to really stick around.

But lettering? Yeah. It stuck.

I was delighted that, for the first time in my life, I actually managed to hold on to a hobby for more than a few months. I loved the process of lettering, even though I wasn’t particularly good at it. It just felt nice.

But here's something I didn't expect: lettering became more than just a hobby.

I had no idea that all that time spent pouring that passion and creativity into my planner would result in more than pretty pages – it would shape me into the person I am today.

Crazy, right? I spent YEARS feeling guilty for stealing bits of time to chase those butterflies. I’m still occasionally hounded by the guilt fairy when I spend a long time on a piece of art. But to my surprise, all those moments of joy didn’t just fill hours – they charted the course of my future.

Investing time in lettering isn't merely about learning a new skill; it's about unlocking parts of yourself you never knew existed. It’s about finding an inner voice that wants to be heard.

You might think, "It's just lettering. How much can it really affect me?"

But trust me, don't sell yourself short. The ripple effects of nurturing your creative passions can be monumental, and it can happen to you.

Imagine where you could be a year from now – selling your lettered art online, perhaps, or being hired for your exquisite script. Imagine what might happen if you did more than dip your toes, but jumped in with both feet.

When was the last time you truly embraced your passions, let your hair down, and explored what you love without reservations? Without guilt?

Lettering was a huge part of my journey, and I know it can be that for you, too.

I wanted to create a resource for you that would provide you with a beacon, a guiding light, so you can navigate the long, often frustrating journey of piecing it all together on your own. I want you to enjoy the benefits of a lettering practice without suffering through all the uncomfortable hiccups I endured on my way here.

That is why I created the Modern Lettering Academy.
