CAREER HIGHLIGHT

I was honored to receive a prestigious commission from the Windsor Hotel to inscribe the front page of the guest book for the momentous Royal Wedding Ceremony of Prince Harry and Miss Meghan Markle in 2018.

COMMISSIONED BY

HELLO, I’M ZIZI

Calligraphy has been my lifelong passion, beginning from a young age. While other children played with dolls and dollhouses, I found joy in replicating people’s handwriting, especially when I encountered stylish penmanship from my teachers, parents, or peers. Over time, I honed my talent for instantly adapting my handwriting style.

Given the scarcity of resources and the relative obscurity of calligraphy as an art form back then, I turned to books to teach myself this elegant craft. In 2009, I seized the opportunity to receive formal training at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), refining my professional skills using dip pens. For over 20 years, I have immersed myself in the study and practice of calligraphy, becoming proficient in a diverse range of styles. I am equally skilled in contemporary calligraphy techniques, brushwork, and traditional copperplate scripts.

I collaborate closely with esteemed corporate clients, celebrants, event organizers, home decoration companies, and many soon-to-be brides. The expansion of my client base can be attributed to the positive word-of-mouth recommendations from my satisfied customers. Each commission I undertake is approached with complete dedication, adding an elegant and sophisticated touch to events and weddings.

Should you require further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am just an email or phone call away.

BEHIND THE CALLIGRAPHY

Historically, human have been using letters and symbols since the beginning of time. Our forefathers used symbols on rocks and walls to convey narratives, crafting beautiful and profound stories. 
Simple and beautiful handwriting sends a message beyond what you actually write in the note. It says you are fastidious and you pay attention to detail. Most importantly, you are saying to your loved ones – they matter.
