Get to know your community

Hello Fellow Maker!

Community is crazy important in our line of work, because most of the time, we work solo.


This platform is thus your directory to connect with & support like minded individuals in the MBA community(: Nothing beats the warmth of human connection!


I highly encourage each of you to check out one another's work & connect over DMs, zoom, or even a casual afternoon coffee if you're both in the same area. Who knows, you might just find a friend in each other & even work together for future collaborations and/or events!


Have fun browsing!

Kai Ting

Watercolour & Calligraphy | @ohkatiepie

Hello! I am Kai Ting and I genuinely love doing watercolour calligraphy and creating envelope sets to go with my cards. 


It’s my heart’s desire to reflect the warm sunshines and rainbows designed by our Maker and may that be seen in every piece I create. It is my prayer to minister and bless all with God’s joy and love through art and heart conversations. 

Sarah Zheng

Watercolour & Calligraphy | @joyful_splashes

Hi, Sarah here! 


I started a watercolour and calligraphy class in 2019 to pick up a hobby and de-compress from work, then ventured into selling art pieces as requested by family and friends. 


Hope that my pieces will inject Faith and Joy to people by pointing them to Jesus and His unwavering Hope.

Amanda Wong

Brushlettering & Watercolour | @manda.creates_ 

My name is Amanda, and I am a full time Vet Nurse and part time calligrapher! 


I started Manda Creates about 3 years ago when I first entered the animal industry - it was so stressful, I needed something that would allow me to breathe and relax. so I tried calligraphy and instantly fell in love with it. 


My first sale was to put me through Awaken Generation to also grow my skills as a worshiper! IG was a platform to document my work in order to see how far I could progress and grow in this skill. I started doing more cards, a cafe blackboard sign and even designed my own tote bags and pins! The pins and the tote bags were to combine my love for art and animals together! 


I'm extremely excited to be on this journey to see where God's gonna take me!

Freely Give & Receive

When I first started out Alyletters, I rarely shouted out other accounts nor bought from other makers because I viewed them as competition.


When I finally understood the concept of community over competition & abundance over scarcity, I was then free to support & blessed others by purchasing their work. I've since realized over time, that the more I gave, the more I received! Not just in sales or tangible means, but in support, heart fuel & friendships - how valuable is that!(:


Of course, please continue up-skilling to create the best products & services you can. Support you receive over time should not only be because of relationship, but from the genuine value you provide to your buyers (:


I pray that as you support each other & in turn receive support as well, this truth will settle deep into your soul & form the foundation of your respective businesses. YOU CAN DO THIS, people will rally around you & if God is for you, who can be against you?


Bless y'all in the multiplication! Keep at it!


<3 Aly
