The Story of Calligraphy By Laura


I have always been passionate about craftmanship since my mother, who is a fine art calligrapher, taught me this beautiful art at the age of five or six. I grew up watching her creating unique artworks that people always admired and enjoyed, so I was always following in her footsteps as a hobby and as her helper. Later, when I finished high school, I decided to study computer engineering – as it was the trend at that time, and I didn’t really have the mindset to decide to do something different, something more like me. But art was always there as my side thing. I was always doing small commissions for family and friends. Then, after graduating, I worked for several years in the IT sector as an account manager, and calligraphy was still there as my hobby. I decided to come to Ireland to learn English and I fell in love with this country and with its people, so I wanted to stay longer and do a master’s degree in global branding while working part-time for Dyson. Throughout this, I was still doing calligraphy as a hobby. After finishing my master’s degree I decided to pursue my passion for craftsmanship full time. I began to pour all my soul and knowledge into Calligraphy By Laura, designing meaningful creations that can be treasured and enjoyed.
