Testimonial from Mary R.

"I took two lettering classes with different Tombow employee instructors at the 2018 Pinners Conference in Fort Worth and they didn't do nearly as good a job explaining how to form the letters or even about why one pen nib is better than another--and they were heavily promoting the Fudenosuke pens that year!
I was fortunate enough to take a virtual class with Christie in May 2025 and learned a lot. She took the time to answer any and all questions the students had and explained the process of beginning to hand letter clearly and simply.
Her cheerful disposition and easy to understand speech made the class even better.
I highly recommend Christie as a teacher!"

If you're new here—hi, I'm Christie!


I never planned to teach lettering. I started as a creative outlet during a hard season, using hand lettering as a way to quiet my mind and draw closer to God. Then a friend asked me to teach a class, and after lots of prayer (and pushing through anxiety), I said yes.

What started as one small workshop turned into hundreds of students, published books, and a thriving online business. It’s all because of God’s grace—and women like you who share a love for creativity and faith!

Now, I'm passionate about teaching women how to create scripture art and grow in truth together—one letter at a time. I believe He brought me through the dark so I could help shine His light.

Let’s create something beautiful, together!

Recordings of all lettering workshops are available for 30 days.
