faq
What is Curated to Create?
Curated to Create is a community based 6 months learning program with creative and business workshops curated for evolving calligraphers. Once you join, you will have life time access to all the pre-recorded workshops (taught by local female entrepreneurs). A monthly Take Action challenge will take place to allow students to have hands-on practice. Complete with guest mentors, live group brainstorming sessions, you can be sure to get the most out of the program. The best part is the forever community! By the end of the program, you would not have only flourished (no pun intended) in your skills but you would be able to form lasting friendships with like minded individuals.
What type of content will you cover in the program?
Our program has an ever growing library of resources curated for the intermediate calligrapher. We will cover skill based workshops like floral illustration, freehand engraving, product styling, etc PLUS business based workshops like contracts, SEO, and pitching taught by experts to help you grow your business. We will occasionally invite guest mentors to join us throughout the program to focus on ways we can develop a healthy mindset as a calligrapher. Along with scripts and templates to help you, you will be able to accelerate on your goals at a faster pace.
When does each course start?
You will be given full access to the pre-recorded workshops as soon as you join. These will be split into 5 - 30 mins videos so that it doesn't become too overwhelming. Feel free to go through them at your own pace. A schedule will be sent out every month for live workshops and group mentoring sessions.
I'm only interested in taking a certain course.
Unfortunately, we no longer offer individual workshops for purchase. I believe in promoting growth and I really wish for you to experience it too. The program offers lifetime access to all workshops that are curated to grow with you no matter what stage of your calligraphy journey you are at.
Will the program take up a lot of my time?
I understand 100% how easy it is to get overwhelmed with too much going on in life. You will be able to learn and practice each new skill at your own pace. In addition, with life time access to our private community, you can always join in on our Take Action challenges when they run each year long after you graduate the program.
Can I sign up whenever I want?
YES! Schedule a call with me to learn more =)

meet the face behind the program
Meet Irene,
the face behind Rintzylee Designs, a calligraphy and stationery studio based in Vancouver, Canada.
Irene loves to experiment and push boundaries when it comes to design. This led to her being named one of the most creative stationery designers in BC by
Real Weddings. She went on to win first place for best stationery design at the BC Wedding Awards in 2020.
In 2018, Irene started Vancouver Lettering Community with co-founders Annabelle and Jo. Through it,
they brought together many people who share a love
for the art of calligraphy.
In 2021, Irene launched Curated to Create, a virtual community based calligraphy program in hopes of connecting and supporting the growth
of many more calligraphers.
During the pandemic, I had the opportunity to
rediscover my core values & purpose, my ikigai.
community, growth, connection, female empowerment
One day, it suddenly clicked.
I knew exactly what I needed to do... what I've always done.
"To support others trying to find their ikigai."
This strong desire to help others turn their dreams into reality has led me to create a community where it can allow all of us to support, inspire, and grow together on our journey
on finding purpose...
DREAM, INSPIRE, EMPOWER
"Stay curious, stay creative,
and know that you are capable
of doing whatever you dream of"
ARE YOU READY
TO EVOLVE?
Enrolment is now closed. Don't worry, join the waitlist for other valuable resources. We hope to see you at our next enrolment in 2023 for some massive growth!
This is me in 2016 before I went full time with my calligraphy business!
I still get goosebumps when I see that last sentence!
