Have you ever wanted to develop your own calligraphy style without copying someone else’s work?
I feel you. When I was developing my own, I found it hard to break the mold. I wished there was a step-by-step process to create calligraphy styles that are cohesive, consistent and evoke the feelings I wanted to convey. I wanted to create a style that I can truly call my own.
If you've wanted to take your calligraphy skills to the next level by creating something new and refreshing, then you've come to the right place.
I've had the incredible chance of creating many calligraphy styles over the years, developing them for various applications, different kinds of people, and even to creating fonts.
I learned that there IS a process to creativity and creating cohesion. Often times, creating something "new" can feel really intimidating, but I know that in time, with proper guidance, you will be able to create your own calligraphy style.

Here's what our students have to say...
Highly recommend the Signature Styles course to any aspiring calligraphers wanting to find their unique calligraphy style! As expected from Karla this course is jam-packed with so much content that’s thoughtfully created with the students’ best learning experience in mind. It is easy to follow and I love how Karla breaks it down into actionable steps - for example detailing exercises that challenged me to think about different components that best reflect the style(s) that I’m aiming for. My favourite part of course is the live session where I can get valuable feedback from Karla who’s such a supportive and approachable teacher! So worth the investment!

I have been looking for an intermediate calligraphy course, specifically for developing my style, for a while even way before Karla announced her Signature Styles Course. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see the course being offered but at the same time I didn't know what to expect. After watching the first few sessions, I truly felt like I learned so much even before getting into the practicing part. Karla's videos were thorough and easy to follow along with, so it kept me engaged. I finished all her sessions in two days and even made my own exemplar! The tips she provided were exactly what I needed to start developing my own style of calligraphy/lettering. I love that the videos are lifetime access because I already see myself going back to it again and again for a refresher as I continue to refine my style. This course is definitely worth the investment for someone looking to create their own calligraphy/lettering style(s) with the right direction and guidance!

I've found this course invaluable for creating my signature style as it has taught me how to understand letter relationships and those "nuances". Now when I begin to letter something I've got the principles of styles echoing in my head so that I'm able to critique my own work and make adjustments accordingly. It's such a great tool to have.

Love this signature style course! It helps me to understand the relationship between each alphabet in a style and provides the recipe how to make them look cohesive throughout a style so the letters belong to each other. I never thought we can analyze our calligraphy using such detailed method, this course totally opens up my eyes and helps me with style development! Karla is a really helpful instructor, she spent time analyzing my work and provided constructive feedback :) It's a great course if you want to take your calligraphy to the next level and develop your very own calligraphy style!
