WHO WE ARE.
Hi! We’re Jillian & Jordan: Calligraphers, teachers, and twin sisters who are dedicated to helping you become the lettering artist you want to be.
You’re in the right place if…
- You want to learn calligraphy but have no idea where to start
- You have tried learning but are frustrated and stuck and you need a helping hand
- You’ve been practicing calligraphy and know the basics but you’re ready to strategically expand your skill set
We’ve helped thousands of students just like you transform their calligraphy, and we’re so excited that you’re ready to be one of them.
Loveleigh is pronounced “lovely”. The spelling comes from Jillian’s middle name, which is Leigh. Loops refers to the beautiful loops of calligraphy that appear in letters and flourishes.
Put those together and you get our name: Loveleigh Loops!
We’re twins who lived together from our childhood and even through the end of college, but now we live in different states. Jillian’s in Nashville, TN while Jordan lives near Dayton, Ohio. But luckily, we’re able to teach students all around the world through our online programs 🙂
Read more about our story below!
Calligraphy is all about creating consistent shapes and letterforms. It uses special tools (e.g. pointed pen) to determine the weight of the strokes, and there are some rules to follow.
Lettering allows the artist to draw the shapes and gives more freedom to “break the rules” since there isn’t a “right” way to do it.

MEET OUR TEAM.
One of the questions we get asked most often (besides “what’s it like to be a twin?”) is this:
How do you get started with calligraphy?
Would you believe us if we told you that we never thought we’d own a calligraphy business?
Even though we took our first calligraphy class at age 11 and created fonts and art projects throughout our childhood and high school years, we went to college to study very different topics:
Jillian studied Business, Spanish, and Interactive Media while Jordan got a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Music.
We both proudly graduated Summa Cum Laude from Miami University in 2014.
Fast forward to today…
We’ve taught hundreds of students in-person and tens of thousands online, created a highly engaged and supportive community, and built a global following of over 50,000 across our online channels.
We love to spend our free time hanging out with our Facebook community. Seriously, we spend 2 hours a week giving free lettering lessons and hosting lettering parties, plus we’re always marveling at the work our members share. You should join!
While our former co-workers may have secretly thought we were crazy to leave our secure jobs, we knew deep down that we were meant for something more. And that’s where you come in.
We’re here to serve you. We’re passionate about helping you become the lettering artist you know you can be. Our goal is to help you reach that full potential.
Yes, we create and sell products (we are a business, after all). But more importantly, we’re committed to your lettering success.
Which is why we offer an incredible amount of educational content and resources for you, 100% free.
And if you do decide to invest in one of our products, you can be sure that it was created with love, that we will exceed your expectations, and that you will get the results you’re looking for.

P.S. Everyone starts somewhere – even the experts. Here are some of the first greeting cards we ever made back in 2015…
Compared to some of our recent work…
We promise that your own transformation is 100% possible. (It just doesn’t have to take as long as it did for us!)
“Jillian and Jordan break everything down to the very basics and guide you every step of the way, with clear instructive videos and work sheets, a supportive online community that includes beginners to accomplished letters, and supportive personal critiques of each participants work.
Loved the course, and would highly recommend this course to anyone, at any stage of your lettering journey. Thanks J2!”
“Jillian and Jordan have a wonderful teaching style that is thorough, patient and complete. I could not believe the difference between my pre-class and post-class lettering.”
“The twins are the best teachers! They cover everything! You will absolutely get your money’s worth! They break everything down. You have so many “lightbulb” moments going through the course.
They are helpful and encouraging! It’s fun and relaxing! Even a leftie like me can learn!”
“J&J have mastered the art of connecting to people when transferring knowledge via virtual aids! Their approach clearly show their support and kindness to all taking the course. I had a wonderful time learning from and with you!”
“Jillian and Jordan provided highly effective teaching, critiquing, and problem solving methods. Their positive and constructive feedback promoted skill development and consistency for brush lettering beginners. They identified errors, promoted problem solving among students, and demonstrated effective correction strategies.
Their unique instruction style was well worth the investment of the course fee. Course content is a timeless resource and reference.”
“My experience with Loveleigh Loops has been exceptional! I first found out about them through social media, and ended up taking the Faux Lettering course they offered online. It was great getting their feedback, so I decided to take the Brush Lettering Bootcamp. Absolutely FANTASTIC!
You can tell these ladies love what they are doing because it shows in the progress of their students. Thank you J2!”
“Loveleigh Loops is a wonderful way to learn skills and gain confidence in lettering. J2 are wonderful at teaching as well as encouraging everyone along the way. You could tell that they were always thinking of ways to analyze and to better teach and share their immense knowledge.
They always go above and beyond what you could ever hope for. Their worksheets grew as they saw our “class” needs.”
