BEHIND THE PEN
It was love
at first flourish…
My journey with calligraphy began in 2014, where I was looking for a creative outlet from my daily grind.
With the first stroke of my pen, I fell in love. Evenings melted into nights as I lettered away onto inky sheets, filling my tiny condo with my new found passion. In 2015, I launched Paula Lee Calligraphy, a fusion of my love for calligraphy and design and my soft spot for weddings. Since then, there's been no turning back.
To me, calligraphy is more than mere lettering; it's an intimate expression of self. It's the beautiful imperfection of my handwriting, where no two letters are exactly the same. And weddings? They're not just picturesque moments; they mark the start of a shared journey, a new chapter. Crafting stationery isn't just a profession; it's a dream come true. To create for couples on one of their most cherished days of their lives is an honour beyond measure, a privilege I hold close to my heart.
I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband and three daughters. When I'm not designing, you'll find me savouring a cup of coffee or stitching away at my sewing desk.
I believe invitations should be true to who you are. Real, timeless, and deeply personal.
And that’s what I strive to capture — from your save the dates to the menus gracing your tables. Each piece of stationery becomes its own musician in an orchestra, unique in voice yet playing in harmony, all carrying the same melody, the same story — your story.
