Welcome To Mintrose Designs

Welcome Article

MintRose Designs is a calligraphy and design studio that rides on my passion to celebrate the lost art of calligraphy and penmanship in today’s digital age.

The idea behind the name of my studio is a leaf out of my fond childhood memories; my aunt bringing me rose peppermints every time she visited me. Both the lingering scent & taste of peppermints and her fond affection are a pleasant reminiscence. Through my art and calligraphy, I wish to leave behind a memory of bespoke designs with my audience.
