CALLIGRAPHY BY THE NUMBERS
The Woman Behind the Pen
Hi there, I’m Andrea—it’s lovely to meet you!
I’ve had a deep love of words and writing for as long as I can remember. That love eventually blossomed into a passion for calligraphy when I was planning my own wedding in August of 2018.
As an avid DIY-er, I decided to try my hand at lettering my own stationery and signage, hoping to make my exact vision come to life. I enjoyed it so much that I started offering to create seating charts and welcome signs for family and friends. With the encouragement of my husband and friends, I decided to launch my little hobby into something bigger, and so Salt + Paper was born!
I am so glad that you’re considering me and my work to be a part of your event. I can’t wait to get to know you!
Just For Fun
A Few Random Facts about Me
01/ I’m an INFJ personality type, and I’m an Enneagram Type 2. I love personality tests—most likely because I’m nostalgic for those early-2000s preteen magazine quizzes. Seventeen and Cosmo Girl, anyone?
02/ My husband and I met on a blind date and quickly bonded over our shared Lebanese heritage and very specific pizza topping preferences (sausage and mushroom).
03/ I have a serious case of wanderlust (hi, Sagittarius here!) and dream of seeing the world. My top bucket list destination is Antarctica!
04/ I was an English major in college and taught high school language arts. As you can imagine, I am an absolute stickler for proper grammar and spelling.
05/ If you hacked into my Spotify account, you’d find a highly curated mix of toddler tunes and mid-aughts emo/pop punk hits. My 1.5 year old is really into the Wheels on the Bus and Sugar, We’re Goin Down.
06/ On a Friday night, my favorite place to be is curled up on the couch with my dog Pepper, a glass of red wine, and good book.

Giving Back and Doing Good
With Salt + Paper
Salt + Paper is committed to making the world a more beautiful place—both through calligraphy and by giving to those in need.
That’s why a portion of all Salt + Paper’s profits are donated to the Dear Jack Foundation. The Dear Jack Foundation (DJF) is a charitable organization whose main mission is to provide support to adolescents and young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer. Through programs like Lifelist wishlist granting and the Breathe Now annual wellness retreat, DJF seeks to be a light of hope for patients, survivors, and their loved ones from diagnosis to survivorship.
This organization has been near and dear to my heart for years now. Founder Andrew McMahon has been my favorite musical artist since I was 13 years old, and I followed along with his own journey with cancer from the time I was in middle school.
However, DJF took on a whole new meaning when a very dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. Cancer is a horrible beast, and its ugliness is compounded even more when it impacts a young person who has so much life yet to be lived. My hope is that Salt + Paper can help to bring a little light to those who are battling for their lives.
Since 2020, Salt + Paper has been able to donate over $270 to DJF. I am so excited to continue to support this amazing organization throughout 2024 and look forward to making an even larger donation this December.
