Hello and welcome! I am Simran, a calligraphy hand lettering artist from Delhi, India.

And, I am the creator and designer behind The Calligraphy Raven—a design and calligraphy studio.

I paint wall murals and teach calligraphy.

I was introduced to calligraphy when I was 15 years old. It started for me as a meditative and relaxing break from studies and has stayed with me since then.

After an engineering degree and three years into UI-UX designing, I have come back to this art and want to share it with all who can benefit from it.

When I was three years into my job as a Sr. UI-UX Designer, I desperately wanted an out. I did not want to switch jobs as I was drained but could not quit because like everyone I had bills to pay.

A friend asked me that life is all about creating options. What options have you created for yourself? This got me thinking and I thought of teaching calligraphy to figure out if it had any opportunity.

I gave myself a 6-month runway period where I would conduct calligraphy workshops to see if I would be able to generate enough income to pay my daily expenses while continuing in the job.

Luckily, that happened and I was able to invest my time in The Calligraphy Raven. I have taught more than 1500 students to date and teaching lifts my spirits. So, see you in class!

Apart from that, I also make useful calligraphy videos on YouTube. And, you can also sign up for the newsletter on my Blog-The Calligraphy Raven to receive calligraphy tips and tricks each month.

P.S. If you're interested in getting more calligraphy learning resources and practise sheets, you can check out my Etsy Shop.
