Emily earned a Master’s degree in English, but realized that she didn’t want to actually teach. Instead, she went a different route. “I’ve always been a creative person with impeccable handwriting and a slight obsession with all things paper," she says, "so teaching myself calligraphy just seemed like a logical next step.”
She began Sparrow Nest Script, offering greeting cards, notecard sets and bookmarks, but quickly received requests for custom designs such as logos, place cards and save-the-dates. This led to invitation addressing services and even hand-lettered keepsake vows for weddings. “I especially loved designing the save-the-dates, invitations and signage for my own DIY wedding this past September,” says Emily.
Sparrow Nest Script designs are so sought-after that she's received requests from boutiques wanting to carry her pieces. We've included images of some of our favorite pieces below, but be sure to visit the Sparrow Nest Script Etsy shop to see more!
