Meet Kelli
I'm the face behind Clover Calligraphy & Press! I've always been interested in creating art with words and letters, but I had no idea it was possible to do it professionally until I wrote out place cards for my own wedding in 2017. Prior to that, I earned my undergraduate degree in Comparative Religion at The Ohio State University and stumbled in to a career in health insurance call centers.
When I'm not working on my press or addressing envelopes in calligraphy, I'm on the board of a local animal sanctuary. I have 7 cats and 4 rabbits! Clover Calligraphy & Press is actually named after my very first rabbit, Clover.
My husband and I currently live in the suburbs of Toledo (Sylvania Township) with our small petting zoo. We love traveling and hope to plan our 10 year vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii!
