About Clair Daley

Clair is a modern calligrapher and artist based in Minneapolis, MN. Encouraged since childhood to "go draw if you're bored!" and to always respond to her Grandmother's beautifully hand-written letters in kind, she grew up loving the feel of using ink on paper. 

After receiving a B.A. in Visual Arts she spent some years flitting about the world working in corporate event planning - but yearned to do something more creative. To step away from the spreadsheets and get back to using her hands, she tried a modern calligraphy class in 2013 and never looked back. Hand lettering is an ever-evolving art in a digital age - and Clair is definitely 'hooked'!

Clair creates custom modern calligraphy pieces and hand-lettering work for events and design uses worldwide. She has been featured in wedding publications such as Style Me Pretty, Ruffled Blog, and The Knot, and was also honored to win the “Best Calligraphy” award by MN Bride Magazine in 2018 and again in 2020.

When she's not sending calligraphy snail mail or eating pizza, you can find her enjoying the outdoors with her husband and two young children in Minneapolis, MN.
