Hi, I’m rachael.

A passion for stationery and writing has led me to The Nib & Ink Project. 

I’ve been fortunate enough to combine my love of all things creative with my want to help people. Whether it’s working with wedding couples to make their ideas come to life or teaching people calligraphy at one of my workshops, it’s safe to say it brings me a lot of joy. 

Yes, I was one of those kids with a million notebooks and re-writing them if they weren’t neat enough. A kid who refused to colour outside the lines and would start again if it just wasn’t right. 

If you haven’t guessed yet, I am a perfectionist. A painstaking attribute at times but one that I’m grateful for in this particular venture. 

My aim is to create a positive and friendly experience, whilst of course always having a little fun!

my values

Kindness

It costs nothing and it has the biggest impact. It’s at the heart of everything I do, whether I’m working with a client via email or I meet you in person at one of my workshops. I believe in making every experience a friendly and positive one.

Community

In my opinion, we are stronger when we work together. Being a part of a community is powerful, it enables us to help each other and make a difference in some way.

inclusivity

I love working with people and I think it’s vital that everyone knows that they matter. I’m fortunate enough to work with and teach people from all walks of life and it’s important to me that my services are accessible to all.
