Hey there, I'm Dina!
I'm a multi-passionate content creator, calligrapher and creative entrepreneur from Vancouver, Canada.
Since I was 20 years old, I've always secretly wanted to be my own boss, live a creative life, and make money doing something that I love. (I'm 30 right now.)
A year into working at my first 9-5 job, I knew it was time to make a move.
Long story short, I started a side calligraphy business, sold greeting cards, and taught workshops for a few months before taking the leap to quit my job in 2019. I struggled a lot with imposter syndrome—that's a story for another time—but I knew that I had to make a bet on myself.
Starting that calligraphy business was the first step in me building the business of my dreams: sharing my journey, making content, connecting with people, and having income streams to support a live of freedom and flexibility.
Since I quit my job, I've tried multiple things:
teaching calligraphy workshops
doing on-site calligraphy for brands
offering business coaching for creatives
building a YouTube channel (70,000+ subscribers and growing!)
created an Etsy shop selling Canva templates
started affiliate marketing
created and sold my own courses
I've always struggled with being multi-passionate and wanting to do all the things. For a really long time, I thought I had to pick just one niche or topic and stick with it, but whenever I tried doing that, I always felt trapped.
So now I'm embracing it—I'm doing all the things and I'm going to thrive.
If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
I hope my content helps you see that it's possible for you too.
