Columbus Calligrapher & Engraver

OWNER + ARTIST

Kristin Baisden


Hi, I’m Kristin—a coffee-loving, extroverted creative with a passion for writing, drawing, painting, and making lists (lots of lists!).

My faith in Jesus is at the heart of everything I do, and I believe we’re meant to walk through life together. Community and connection mean everything to me—whether it’s through deep conversations, shared creativity, or simply doing life side by side. I’m always inspired by the people around me and know that the best work comes from collaboration and genuine relationships.

As an artist, my goal is to get to know you—your style, your personality, and the little details that make you you—so that every piece I create feels like a reflection of you. And who knows? We just might become best friends along the way!

Accountability

I show up, follow through, and do my best—because trust is built on consistency.

Integrity

Honesty and honor guide my work. Doing what’s right always comes first.

Collaboration

 Community makes us stronger. I believe in lifting others up and creating together.

Passion

I pour my heart into what I do—because creativity isn’t just my job, it’s my calling.

Kindness

Treating others with respect and care matters. Small acts of kindness make a big impact.

She is an exceptionally talented calligrapher and was such a joy to work with.

Over nine years ago, I started playing around with hand lettering. I’ve always loved changing up my handwriting, so this became a fun, creative way to bring letters to life. When I launched Lovely Arrows Designs in 2016, I had no clear vision for where it would go—I just knew I wanted to create with beautiful lettering.

When I became a wedding coordinator in 2017, I found my niche in the wedding industry, designing event signs and day-of details while experimenting with different styles and materials. In 2020, with a little extra time, I branched out into the corporate world, painting windows and murals. By the time wedding season picked up again, I was busier than ever.

A Little About Lovely Arrows…

What started as a creative outlet and side hustle became a full-time artistic career in late 2021, and now I focus my time fully on live event engraving and personalization, and custom day-of signage.

When I’m not traveling on the weekends or personalizing something, you’ll find me leading worship at my church, hanging out with my daughter and hubs, or hitting a coffee shop in Columbus!

I love my clients
