Here's what some of my students have said about my teachings:

• There is no better way to become a boss then by learning from THE BOSS herself! Shinah helped me learn how to make the world of calligraphy business seem less like a fairy tale and more like a reality that is mine for the taking if I work for it. Thank you for everything you do Shinah! - Rosa Veliky

• While [she] offers the vital practical help you would expect, such as pricing projects for clients, Shinah's invaluable mentorship on accountability and mindset was the gamechanger I didn't know I needed. - Dani Brush

• I was nervous about investing the money in myself, BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT SHINAH ENCOURAGED ME TO BELIEVE I WAS WORTH MY OWN INVESTMENT. I made back the money that I invested and feel like I am much more prepared to take this business into the next part of my journey. - Nicole Lindenstein

• Shinah is so relatable and makes the dream of owning a creative business into a reality. I am not a business-savvy person AT ALL, but Shinah has made this scary and daunting task into something achievable. The confidence and competence her guidance provides is priceless. - Taylor Nicole

• Invest in yourself! You will learn how possible it is to attain your goals and pursue your passion. - Lauren Logan Perry

• I feel way less lost than I was before I started this. - Marissa Pham

• A friend and I just started getting into the laser engraving business and this workshop couldn't have come at a better time. I was hesitant at first but I am so glad that I decided to just do it… I am planning to implement calligraphy into engraving and when I get better and with more experience, I would like to see if I can also start a business with calligraphy. [The workshop] put a lot of things into perspective [and] broke things down where it was easy for me to understand. Even the math part wasn't so daunting… I'm just grateful for how easy it was to follow along. - Verna

• It was so important for me to learn the basic strokes before even trying the letters. I had previously tried to learn calligraphy and the class wasn't broken down in that way and I never could get the hang of it. - Laurie Sanchez

• [I would recommend this workshop] for any business start up- not just for calligraphy. Great learning points of what to avoid from [Shinah], who is willing to share [mistakes] and all. - Louise Dunwell

• The workshop made me more confident to start marketing my skills and be more confident in my pricing. I've just been doing small jobs here and there, mostly free to friends & family getting married as a present. But now I feel more confident to charge- and charge a LOT more than I was. - Nicole Gonthier

• [Learning from the course] that I am not my own customer is definitely a big game-changer for me. I tried before to make some calculations and get a feel [for] how much my products will cost, and I instantly thought to myself that I wouldn't pay that much money!! So I started having second thoughts if this can even turn into a profitable business, or if I should keep it just as a hobby, and make gifts for family and friends. But then when you mentioned it, it just made perfect sense, and gave me more confidence to price accordingly. The sample price chart that has the minimum price for each kind of calligraphy job is really great for beginners like me. Because starting out, as you exactly mentioned, we tend to underestimate and undervalue our work and worth- So demystifying that is greatly appreciated! - Chahira Hamza
