About Calligraphy by MCW
Calligraphy by MCW was founded in 2019.
My background is in PR and marketing and I have over six years of experience curating campaigns and events for premium brands. In 2016, I first tried my hand at modern calligraphy. At first, it was a way to switch off from my busy job and a way of further exploring my love of design. Very quickly it became more than a hobby and I fell in love. I discovered pure joy in the written word. I wanted to share my love of the written word and the joy it gave me with others and so, with a lot of amazing support from friends and family, I decided to set up Calligraphy by MCW.
Since launching, I have worked with international brands such as Guinness, Baileys, Rituals, Smirnoff, Skechers, Boots, Roe & Co and Smirnoff.

Paper
Paper is regarded as one of the world’s great sustainable products, made from renewable raw material. The paper used in Calligraphy by MCW pieces is fully recyclable and biodegradable and is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) accredited, which means that the pulps used are from managed forests.

They are plastic-free, promoting sustainable forests and reducing the environmental impact of harmful products. Plastic-free peelable stickers, instead of plastic coverings, are used to hold the envelopes and cards together.
