MY LETTERING JOURNEY

Updated: Jan 25, 2022

My lettering journey began in April 2019 when I was going through a low moment filled with despair and couldn’t really find what could console me. As you may know, some persons (sometimes includes me!) tend to go to social media when they are not happy… let’s keep social media for another day! When I logged into my Instagram account, after scrolling through a few pictures, I came across a post which advertised a lettering challenge titled ‘April Peace Lettering Challenge’, it was about lettering a verse of scripture about peace daily in the month of April 2019; hosted by some Christian ladies on Instagram. I knew very little about hand lettering then but I decided I would jump in. I would never regret that decision!


Fast forward to April and here I was realizing a design on every blessed day, I recall closing from work and I wouldn’t even eat because I needed to letter out my peace verse for the day. I can’t explain how refreshed I was at the end of April 2019 but I recall I was uplifted and every piece of work I did had encouraged me. When the challenge was over, I still had a passion for hand lettering and so I began to letter almost every thing I saw or thought of!


During one of the programs which I follow called ‘The Hallelujah Challenge’ we had a specific theme during that year tagged Marvelously Helped and while following I did a lettering piece of art with those words. Not wanting to forget the words so soon!!



Not too long after finishing the program, I thought of having my lettering printed on a t-shirt! A friend helped me vectorize and print the design and there I was wearing my own hand-lettered design!

It ended up that many persons loved the design and wanted their own t-shirts, which I eventually did for them. Well, I thought that was the end but as you can see the journey is still ongoing. I love to do hand lettering of the Word of God, encouraging pieces and also do custom designs for people.
