Hi, I'm Shannon! Back in 2012, I took my first calligraphy class and fell absolutely in love with lettering arts. I worked my way through three more community classes, and for months afterwards I spent all my money on supplies and new lettering toys! Eventually, friends and family started asking for me to create some art for them, and I realized I enjoyed this much more than my "nine-to-five" job. I said goodbye to my full time job back in 2015, and dove head first into running DeBord Studios. I offered calligraphy services and taught community classes for five years, before taking a hiatus to weather the pandemic, welcome a new addition to our family, and find my new "normal". Now, I'm bringing DeBord Studios back. The world has changed a lot (and I have too!), but calligraphy remains a lovely and calming source of joy to many of us. I am excited to be creating beautiful art again, and through it to connect with you! If you love calligraphy, or are interested in learning more, then I would love to connect with you. Maybe we can find a way to celebrate beautifully written words together!
