meet stefanie

Hi! I’m Stefanie Stroman, owner of Stroman Studios Calligraphy. Some of my favorite past times are nights around the kitchen table crafting with my mom. Most of those nights meant E6000 glue all over my tiny fingers while we rhinestoned a costume for my upcoming dance recital. Other nights, handmade greeting cards or scrapbooking.

Since my high school cheerleading days, I’ve always been the girl people have asked to write on things. “Stefanie can do it! she’s got way better handwriting than I do!,” they’d say. I never minded. In fact, it was a huge compliment! I was passionate about art, handwriting and crafting already. The more I produced work on cards, signs, posters, and ornaments the bigger my passion grew. Around this age was also the age I began to hear my friends talk about marriage. That’s when I was introduced to calligraphed wedding envelopes. My oh my! Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? I’m pretty sure that’s what happened to me that day. I ordered all of the necessary tools and practiced. For hours. Sometimes days. Heck! I even began to write my water bill check and envelope using the strokes of calligraphy.

Since then, I’ve come a long way and have been providing professional calligraphy services for the past 11 years. While I still happily take those “will you write this poem for me in calligraphy” orders, I also specialize in adding a personal touch to your wedding day or big event, teaching calligraphy classes and providing calligraphy services to corporate brands and companies. I have worked with brands such as Apple, Nationwide, West Elm, Kendra Scott, Anthropologie and Makers Mark just to name a few.

I currently reside with my yorkshire terrier, Tiny, and my fiance (we call him “the italian” on my social media - IYKYK 😉) in Charlotte, North Carolina. I enjoy picnics in the park, live music, big bows (on anything!), peter pan collars and afternoon lattes.

Thank you for joining me on this journey! I’m so excited to have you here.
