About Us

Jill Burk
Creative Director and Co-Founder

Jill entered the calligraphy world with a editor's eye and a deep love of community.

She saw what many people feel but never say out loud.

Calligraphers were practicing alone, guessing at technique and quietly wondering why their work never looked the way they wanted.

Her solution was bold.

Build spaces where calligraphers learn together instead of alone.

Teach in ways that make sense.

Create community that feels like home.

The first online summit confirmed the need instantly, and everything grew from there.

Today Jill is the voice and vision behind Flourish, the Festival, the Summits and Calligraphy Classes.

She creates the experiences she wishes existed when she started.

Dave Osbaldiston

Operations Director and Co Founder

Dave is the steady engine that keeps Flourish running. He handles systems, logistics, scheduling, tech, registrations and the small details that make every event and class feel smooth from start to finish.

Where Jill imagines the big picture, Dave builds the infrastructure that makes the big picture possible.

He is the reason everything works the way it should.

Together, Jill and Dave are spark and structure, creativity and clarity, vision and execution.
