About Me

Hi there! Jelvin here.

I'm a lettering artist and graphic designer specializing in type-based projects and collaborations. I've been exploring typography since 2010 and diving into lettering and calligraphy since 2013.

I’ve been refining my craft, creating elegant and effective letterforms for logos, graphic, and commissioned projects. I am mainly focused on brush scripts, but I have a solid grasp of typographic and calligraphic styles that translate into intentional and contextual designs.

Over the past decade, I have conducted workshops in collaboration with various stationary brands both publicly and privately.
