About me
I'm a calligrapher and lettering artist who fell in love with ink and paper. For more than twenty years I have drawn Arabic scripts such as thuluth and diwani, and Latin lettering, for brands, publishers and couples.

Kind words
Our wedding invitations were simply stunning: our names in diwani, framed in gold. Every guest asked who made them.
The hand-lettered Arabic logo gave our bakery a warmth no font could match.
