About Girl Holding a Pen

Girl Holding a Pen is a calligraphy design company based in Philadelphia, PA made up of husband and wife team, Kevin and Lauren Kelley. Lauren began learning calligraphy when she and Kevin got engaged in the hopes of addressing all of the wedding invitations. Not only did she address the envelopes, but she designed the invitation as well! GHP's love for ornament making started with the idea of opening an ornament kiosk in an old newsstand in our Philly neighborhood. Ornaments are often procured for sentimental value. GHP aims to bring elegance and handcrafted art to symbolize life's nostalgic moments. Read their story
