Meet Swapna

I am an independent lettering artist based in the ‘burbs of Dallas. I love blending the perfection of type with the quirky, imperfect beauty of hand-drawn letters. I specialize in chalkboard signs for business, painted canvases for baby rooms, and modern calligraphy and lettering for events and celebrations.

Oh, and Christmas. Have I mentioned I love Christmas? One of my favorite crafts is handlettering and painting custom ornaments!

NLD Creative Co began as NerdLadyDraws–a passion project of an Instagram account where I learned and shared calligraphy and lettering, and drew out my favorite book quotes. Empowering educators and encouraging reading are a major part of my mission and design inspiration.

If you find me on social media or read my blog, you’ll find stories from my days as a high school English teacher, tips for a creative classroom, recommendations for the next book you should read, and quotes from my favorite TV shows and movies from my millennial youth!

I am available for custom lettering work for events, businesses, educators, and families. Contact me here!
