get to know me

I know the small details matter to you…because they matter to me too!

Just Write by Ashley Calligraphy is a modern calligraphy and design studio based in Pittsburgh, PA, creating custom pieces that make all of life’s moments even more memorable.

I’m a higher education professional by day and, by night, the Founder of Just Write by Ashley Calligraphy LLC!

After making my own wedding signage for my September 2020 wedding #COVIDBride, modern calligraphy became a creative outlet for coping with daily stressors. 

Between planning a wedding (about a zillion different ways) and working long hours in student affairs, writing and crafting helped channel my energy into something beautiful.

Oh heyyyy! I’m Ashley!

the Founder of Jwba Calligraphy

Fast forward to a few months after our wedding. After purchasing a 3-drawer carts’ worth of art supplies from Michaels and making custom items for friends, my husband said to me “Ashley, why don’t you just do this for real? What’s stopping you?”

With his push - Just Write by Ashley Calligraphy launched on Instagram in January 2021. After a logo change, business formation, refining my processes, and expanding my services, one thing has stayed the same: the love of creation and collaboration. 

The creation process clears my head, allows me to pour my heart into custom projects, and literally pushes me to just write on the most special items for the most special clients.

Pinterest and Etsy are great - but let’s keep your work true to you! Our priority is making sure your unique personality is woven through our creations.

Authenticity

Quick response via email, check-in meetings, thorough responses to inquiries, and more; communication is the cornerstone of our creative process.

Communication

We believe Love is Love, Black Lives Matter, and that our clients deserve to be celebrated. At JWBA, we see you, hear you, and ‘toast’ to you!

Inclusion

Everyone is creative in their own way. We use our creativity to solve problems, spark joy, and innovate products and designs individualized to our clients.

Creativity

We keep it real with our clients, making sure they feel valued and heard while also being upfront about investment costs for collaborating on custom projects.

The CliffsNotes version.

I love getting a bouquet of fresh flowers for my office and home from local florists. Ranunculus, Anemone, Roses, and Eucalyptus are my favorite bouquet staples.

Fresh flower bouquets

I love a good basket - especially when the basket’s main function is to hold some of the small stuff so that I can display more cute decor in our home!

Organizing Baskets

My little family is the reason for everything I do. My husband Anthony is my rock and biggest cheerleader and my daughter inspires me to be the best version of myself as a mom and business owner. 

My Whole Heart

Bridgerton, Ginny & Georgia, Vampire Diaries, Love is Blind, etc. I love all the trashy reality tv shows and rom-coms all the way to drama. No horror, please!

Rewatching Netflix Shows

My students at Duquesne, my mom, my gal pals, clients, vendor friends - you name it! I am a true Myers-Briggs ENFJ otherwise known as, The Protagonist.
