about

Hi! I am Lauren and I am the face and hands behind Oh Wonder. I live with my graphic designer husband, two sons, two tiny dogs and six chickens in a tiny village just outside of Rye in East Sussex where we relocated early 2024 from London. I am a graphic designer and self-taught Calligrapher. After working on multiple weddings for friends, I started Oh Wonder in January 2016, specialising in modern calligraphy and handmade stationery. Paper is my love and I absolutely love putting together bundles of perfection for my clients events.

In 2018 my book Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering was released by Haynes Publishing. I have also taught workshops across the country and work on live events for brands.

Alongside Calligraphy and Stationery I am also a Nail Technician and spend my working time between creating beautiful paper and nails for people.

I love diet coke, reading fantasy books, daydreaming, the seaside, and gardening, and you will usually find me writing lots of lovely words in my studio, painting someones nails in my nail room, or trying to share my lap with (not so) tiny humans and tiny dogs.
