Hello

My name is Katherine.  I am the owner and calligrapher of Handwritten by Katherine.  You can catch me at one of my calligraphy workshops or events in the San Francisco Bay Area or in San Diego, CA.

I first started calligraphy about 10 years ago. Not to toot my own horn but I pretty much had neat handwriting since I learned cursive in the 2nd grade.  Prior to that, my handwriting was literally scribbles.  I’ve always loved making things and doing anything creative.  I love fashion, reading, storytelling, crafting, traveling, cooking, baking, sewing, and designing.  When I look back on my childhood, I always have fond memories of playing Barbies aka “decorating her house.”  Creating has always brought me so much joy. I can honestly say that it is something that always perks up my mood if I’m feeling overwhelmed or sad.

I grew up in beautiful San Diego, CA, attended undergrad at UC Santa Barbara, and finished up graduate school at Saint Louis University.  I currently work full-time in acute care as a cardiac Registered Nurse and as an aesthetic injector in a medical spa.  I also have experience working in outpatient clinics, infusion sales, and travel nursing.

I hope you enjoy the projects I share and find inspiration to be creative in your own life!
