Whether your creative work is your primary income or a side hustle (or maybe it's been shelved for a while as life has gotten in the way), we both know it’s a constant in your life.
If you would consider your creative work your life's work, then this program is for you...

What our clients have to say...
“Chelsie is an artist for artists. She was commissioned to design our brand, taking into account everything we are striving to achieve, and she delivered exactly what we were looking for. Working with her was an absolute joy. If you are a fellow artist who is looking to define or redefine your brand, I PROMISE you will be greatly rewarded." - Joe Liolos, owner of Doughnut Gallery
"Because we can't do it all, nor should we. Having an outside, creative brain take all of our ideas and intentions and make them into something WAY better than anything we thought of is beyond priceless.” - Mel McSherry, host of More Than Just Podcast
“Branding is one of the most important marketing tools and can easily kill your business if done improperly, and there's no one I'd trust more with that responsibility than Chelsie at Lettering Works.” - Zandra, artist + owner of Zandra Illustration
“Chelsie was the perfect person to help build my brand and business, and I never could have imagined a better outcome, not to mention getting to work with an overall incredible person and phenomenal designer.” - Bailey, artist + owner of CandleTit, LLC
"I’ve been eyeing her work for months, and finally, when the time was right to evolve my branding, I was stoked that she accepted me as a part of her bookings.” - Cee Ng, CEO of Live Learn Dream
