about

Hi! I am Lauren and I am the face and hands behind Oh Wonder. Based in the London Suburb of Bromley, I live with my fellow designer husband, two sons and two tiny dogs. I am a graphic designer and self-taught Calligrapher. After working on multiple weddings for friends, I started Oh Wonder in January 2016, specialising in modern calligraphy and handmade stationery. Paper is my love and I absolutely love putting together bundles of perfection for my clients events.

In 2018 my book Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering was released by Haynes Publishing. I have also taught workshops across the country and work on live events for brands.

Alongside Calligraphy and Stationery I have also recently trained as a Nail Technician and spend my working time between creating beautiful paper and nails for people.

I am addicted to diet coke, usually have my hair in a topknot, am a country girl at heart, I love the colours pink and lilac and you will usually find me writing lots of lovely words in my studio, painting someones nails in my nail room, curled up with a book (90% of the time its going to be fantasy!), gardening or trying to share my lap with (not so) tiny humans and tiny dogs.
