HI THERE,
I’M MANSI.
I’m a modern calligrapher and lettering artist based in Hong Kong.
This wasn’t always my path though, I spent five years working in Human Resources in the Financial Industry, first in London, and then back in Hong Kong, and another five co-founding and running an event styling and planning company. Then mommy-guilt really kicked in and I took some time out to focus on, and spend time with my then one and three year olds, because I didn’t want to miss out on those moments.
I’ve always admired calligraphy and lettering, but from afar, (and by that I mean watching instagram videos every night - my husband thought I was nuts!). As much as I loved my role as full time mom, I was also struggling, and needed something to call my own. That’s when, every night when the house was finally quiet, I set aside time to just write, create and explore. It was my way of re-connecting with myself. Calligraphy gave me a sense of inner peace - when you get that flow right, it’s a feeling I can’t quite explain. And that’s when, ever so slowly, Ko.lligraphy was born.
Since then, it’s evolved from a hobby to a modern calligraphy and lettering studio. I’ve been lucky enough to personalize a range of products, work for and collaborate with various brands, conduct seasonal and regular workshops, as well as create meaningful and fun commissions for homes across the world.
