With a degree in Graphic Design from the University of La Plata, Argentina, I worked in print production and logo design until I moved to the UK in 1999. I have always had a particular interest in Typography and Calligraphy, and gradually the latter took over. Since 2016, I have focused my career on teaching and producing calligraphy work. I co-founded Love Calligraphy, where I worked until April 2020. I worked with Kirsten Burke on special events through the North West for Jo Malone, Clinique, Molton Brown and La Mer during my time there. Additionally, I have collaborated with Simple Lettering Magazine in two articles about Traditional Copperplate. Now, I work independently from home to better fit my work around my family life. My efforts are entirely behind the CalligrAbility initiative. I am a member of NWCA [http://www.northwestcalligraphers.org.uk/], SSI [https://calligraphyonline.org/], SLLA [http://www.southlondonlettering.co.uk/] and CLAS [http://www.clas.co.uk/]. Since February 2020, I have been collaborating with Joy Daniels [http://joydanielscalligraphy.co.uk/] on the Copperplate Special Interest Group [http://www.clas.co.uk/copperplate-special-interest-group/]. I am also its representative on the CLAS's Management Committee. [https://www.clas.co.uk/committees/] I love travelling and attending calligraphy classes around the country. Meeting fellow calligraphers and great masters keep my motivation high and enrich my work.

Hello! My name is Asha and I am the creator and owner of Babooche Calligraphy. I specialise in custom calligraphy, illustration and stationery for weddings, special events and small businesses. Inspired by the sea and nature I have developed an organic feel to my designs which are “lovingly handmade, simple, natural and timeless”. Having lived by the sea and surrounded by British countryside for most of my life, my aim is to bring a sense of fresh air and calmness for brides and businesses looking for simple design and elegant calligraphy. When I am not busy in the studio working on orders and creating new pieces with my beautiful tools, I love to travel and explore the world and learn about different cultures and people.At Babooche Calligraphy we acknowledge that there are very few people that make their products with their hands. Machines and technology have taken over most of the world and at Babooche Calligraphy we are trying to hold on firmly to the idea and notion of all things ‘Lovingly Handmade’. Our calligraphy is written by hand. We use ink that has been mixed by hand. We love to use paper that has been made by hand. Our letterpress and hot foil presses are operated by hand and foot!
