Say it Colorfully!

Crayoligraphy

What started as a personal project — hand lettering quotes with Crayola markers just for the love of it — turned into something I never saw coming. The practice led to a collaboration with Crayola themselves, which is still one of the highlights of my creative career. It's a good reminder that the work you do for yourself can open doors you didn't even know existed.

Crayola invited me to host a four-part lettering series — covering the basics, the alphabet, accents and shadows, and hands-on practice. The series was shared across Crayola's social channels, reaching a community of art lovers and aspiring letterers around the world.
