Ash and Zach met in art school, a love story for the books, but that’s another story for another time. After graduating and getting married in 2010 they both turned their fine art degrees into graphic design jobs. Four years later Ash began her calligraphy journey and Zach went off to get his masters in 3D design from Virginia Tech.

Christmas 2014 Zach decided to gift Ash a handmade wooden calligraphy pen he had turned on an old 1950’s lathe. This gift of love turned into a full-blown full-time job for them as more and more people ordered their custom hand-painted pens. These became wildly popular for the outside-of-the-box ideas, and intricate designs. Even being featured in the gift edition of Harpers Bazaar magazine.

After graduating with his masters in 3D design Zach started experimenting with mold-making and resin pens. Thus launched the Resonate product line in February 2018 and kicked their business up a notch, it also opened them up to the world of wholesale. You can find these goods in art and boutique stores all over the world.

And in 2020 they finally took the leap and bought a 3D printer and melded their two expertise’s together - a creative love child, if you will. As the stars aligned, their calligraphy pens exploded to the next level. With imagination running free and no end in sight for the possibilities, they feel their journey in the calligraphy world has only just begun.
