My life motto:
Only Connect
As a marketing and PR consultant, I've spent decades watching B2B companies rely on impersonal tactics that don't connect to people.
The brands that stand out now are the ones that lean in to the personal. I help these brands earn trust through unique services:
ashtonpen - proof through customer storytelling
ashtonink - connection through handwritten experiences
I grew up smack dab in the middle of five sisters.
As a military family, we moved every couple years. It could have been easy to get lost in the shuffle.
But, my parents didn't let that happen. For instance, on my 8th birthday, they gave me a journal with my name scripted on the cover.
It made me feel seen.
It even started me on my path to become a professional writer who finds real, relatable stories in business (ashtonpen.com).
This is my 'why' behind ashtonink calligraphy.
It's not about the flourishes ~ It's about connection.
Calligraphy education
I belong to international calligraphy associations, completing workshops with renowned artists including the former chief calligrapher at the White House and several master penmen.
My specialty is modern and traditional pointed pen calligraphy founded in Copperplate script and foundational hand. While I love a good flourish, I also offer print letter styles.
When I'm not playing with new pens and inks, you'll find me hiking the Cache Valley mountains near Logan, Utah, and carpooling kids to water polo or concerts.
