The Scriptive Company, just a Jesus loving girl, following her dreams and starting a lettering business all for the glory of God!
Hello!
I'm Meghan.
I'm the Coffee Sipping, Jesus Praising, Lettering Addict behind The Scriptive Company. I started my small business back in 2015, when I was going through a heart breaking season in my life after my husband and I miscarried 2 pregnancies. I realized I absolutely needed encouraging scripture to get me through the day. I can honestly say in those weeks after going through the hardest time in my life, I didn't know what my purpose was, and I definitely didn't know what I wanted to do as a career.
In 2015, I started lettering as a way to cope with my sadness, and I found so much encouragement through scripting scripture. I later named my business, The Scriptive Company, because I thought it described my work the best way I knew how. "Scripting" all the "Scriptures" , I made up the word Scriptive and it just stuck. The first couple months of my business I began selling to locals in Charlotte, NC and found a great need for my lettering artwork. Later, I found that selling beyond my local area would grow my business. In 2016, I opened my Etsy Shop, had the opportunity to put my artwork in an art gallery in Asheville, NC, and had my first successful Pop-up Shops.
Art has always been in my life. I have been creating since I could hold a crayon, but actually being able to make it a career has been a dream. I have seen myself grow in so many areas, and truly I've seen myself turn into a "business woman". I always say I'm not your typical business woman, since my work space is always a mess, my to do list is always doodled on, and my "business emails" look more like texts to a best friend.
However, I wouldn't change any of it. I work best on a messy desk with pens scattered everyone music blaring in the background , and my dog and I dancing around the house. I find inspiration through a lot of things. I love having fresh flowers and succulents in my home, and I always love seeing the colors, especially when I'm watercolor painting. I love working on my desk in my living room. My husband and I decided to move my space into the largest room in our house, so that I could feel inspired by all the light that comes through the windows. My goldendoodle, Bentley, aka my art studio assistant is always watching me do my work, I think he's the real "BOSS" of The Scriptive Company.
When people ask me how to get their own lettering business started, I simply say this: "Practice, learn your skill, find your style, DO YOU, be creative, keep trying, just START, don't look for perfection instead look for progress."
If I had waited to start my business until I had mastered calligraphy, and learned every skill I needed for business in general, I would never have started, and to this day I still wouldn't have a business.
You just have to say YES, and START.
When you order from The Scriptive Company, you help me and my family. You help us pay our bills, put food on the table, and pay for Bentley's toys. Your support is so appreciated. Your orders literally make my day! I am so blessed to do what I do, and I'd love to hear from you!
