Written Word Calligraphy and Design
Brand · Paper goods
I’m Karla Lim, the founder of Written Word Calligraphy & Design, author of Creative Calligraphy Made Easy, and a calligraphy educator passionate about helping others learn and create with intention.
Written Word began as a love for lettering and illustration, and has grown into a space centered around three things: thoughtfully designed calligraphy tools, accessible online education, and a supportive creative community. Everything we offer is shaped by the belief that learning doesn’t need to be rushed - and that creativity can be both meaningful and grounding.
Art has always been a part of my life, but calligraphy became a particularly mindful practice for me - a way to slow down, connect, and find beauty in the simplest of forms. It’s a joy to now teach and share that practice with others around the world.
I live in Vancouver, Canada with my husband Clement and our two kids. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find us outdoors -exploring parks, going on small hikes, or with me running, writing, or creating something with my hands.
