Hi! I’m Chelsie Tamms, the name and face behind Lettering Works.
I’m a lettering artist and brand strategist with 10+ years of experience doing what I love most: creating art that resonates and inspires. I believe design is in the details and that strategy can accelerate art’s impact.
My clients are museums, tourist attractions, retailers, nonprofits, and established businesses who believe in the power and effect of art. Every project and every piece of merchandise I design is crafted with human thought and intention.
Have an idea for a project? I’d love to hear from you!
Part artist, part strategist. Full creative partner.
