If you have a true appreciation for art and understand the power paper holds to set the tone, create excitement, and serve as a lasting memory, you are in the right place.
Bringing life to your vision, or in some cases, imagining that perfect vision together is my ultimate mission when working with clients. Is this an occasion calling for something you can't get off the shelf? Does it require creativity, originality, boldness, and inspiration? I am here for you and would love to guide you through the process. Expect the finished work to be meaningful, personal, and truly one of a kind. Let's get started, shall we?
Telling your unique story through art
Calligrapher in Washington, D.C.
Artist, wife, and mother
I live in a small, charming town in Nothern-ish Virginia, reminiscent of Mayberry, though not quite as small. It takes around 10 minutes to get just about anywhere in Culpeper, and the people here are warm and welcoming. My husband and I moved here fairly recently from the hubbub Northern Virginia and couldn't feel more at home! We are empty nesters and have effectively replaced our kids with our white English lab, Annie, who currently has 10 times the Instagram following than I do because she's so freaking adorable. (Her handle is @anniethepolarbearlab in case you're wondering.) We live in a golf community on the 14th hole, I think. My studio has glass french doors overlooking the tee, so I enjoy observing golfers and wildlife play as I work. I find the squirrels and bunnies tend to derail my focus the most, but I’m so grateful for the inspired view I enjoy from my drafting table!

A CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP
Curious Fox Press is a paper design and letterpress print studio started by Cathleen Titcomb in 2012. After many years in the corporate accounting and finance world, Cathleen left her career with the birth of her daughter Farren, a child with complex medical needs. With a curious nature and desire to turn her love of antiques and appreciation of process into her life pivot, Cathleen embarked on her creative journey as a designer and letterpress printer. Curious Fox Press operates in the steadfast belief that the true beauty in life is about savoring the experiences along the way.
When not creating, Cathleen enjoys spending time with her son Flynn and husband Blair on their little foothill of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her hobbies include cooking, tractor driving, and growing things in her garden. Heirloom tomatoes, hydrangeas, and any kind of flower that brings butterflies or hummingbirds are favorites. Her daughter Farren departed for her next adventure in August 2023.
Scribble Savvy is a calligraphy and illustration studio founded by Lisa Hutchinson in 2020. After 25 years in the beauty industry, running 2 successful businesses and representing one of the industry's top companies as an educator, it took the onset of a global pandemic to spur her on to realize her childhood dream as a professional artist. Through this new venture, she aspires to create beautifully written and illustrated works that bless, inspire, and encourage others.
Outside of the studio, Lisa cherishes time spent with husband John, sweet lab Annie, and daughter Sylvie on every happy occasion she visits from college. She loves riding her motorcycle down winding country roads, playing piano, and dusting off her Pearl drum set every now and again, when the occasion calls.

OUR STORY
Scribble Savvy
It all began in the fall of 2021 when Cathleen (Curious Fox Press) reached out to me (Scribble Savvy) regarding an editorial project she had in mind. Thrilled over the opportunity to join forces, I jumped in with both feet. Our first collaboration landed in an issue of Southern Bride, and we've not stopped working together since!
It seems we both discovered the yin to our yang. While we are two distinct businesses, Cathleen contributes her talents as a designer and skilled presswoman, while I offer my expertise in the creation of custom illustrations and the art of calligraphy. Together our creative synergy offers clients the best of both of our talents as well as a seamless collaborative process. Truly, a match made in heaven when it comes to designing bespoke wedding stationery!

More often than not people seek out my services to commemorate a joyful occasion- a wedding, gala, anniversary, birthday, graduation, or award. It's often a significant milestone in someone's life and cause for great celebration. I find it an honor and thrill to contribute to the happy circumstance. By contrast, I am sometimes contacted for more somber occasions, such as the loss of a loved one. While those tend to be more difficult, I always feel honored to be trusted with such details. I treasure the real connections I make with real people in real life circumstances, whether joyful or sorrowful. My work enables me to answer Paul’s call in Romans 12:15 to “rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.” There is something uniquely human and sacred about that.
