Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I have been in business since 1999.
What is your primary product or service?
I provide hand-done calligraphy and, in certain cases, some artwork to go along with it.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have always enjoyed art and lovely writing. I began getting interested in calligraphy in high school.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There really are very few calligraphers in business in the area--in fact, there aren't many in business in the country, at least currently. So there isn't much comparison I could draw between me and the others. I do strive to provide excellent customer service.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I have one location.
Provide detailed directions to your location
It's best to call me, first, as my office hours are by appointment only. My studio is on Cascade, 1/3 mile north of Fillmore, on the west side.
What type of payments do you accept?
Cash, check, debit/credit card.
Which areas do you service?
I service the greater Colorado Springs area.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
I am the sole operator. If you call, you'll always talk and deal directly with me.
What are your hours of operation?
I set by appointment.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
Of course I love to hear people say things like "Your work is so beautiful!" Who wouldn't like that?!
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
