About
Hey there, I'm Dina! I'm a multi-passionate content creator, calligrapher and creative entrepreneur from Vancouver, Canada.
Since I was 20 years old, I've always secretly wanted to be my own boss, live a creative life, and make money doing something that I love. (I'm 30 as of 2024.)
A year into working at my first 9-5 job, I knew it was time to make a move.
Long story short, I started a side calligraphy business, sold greeting cards, and taught workshops for a few months before taking the leap to quit my job in 2019. I struggled a lot with imposter syndrome but I knew that I had to make a bet on myself.
Starting that calligraphy business was the first step in me building the business of my dreams: sharing my journey, making content, connecting with people, and having income streams to support a live of freedom and flexibility.
Since I quit my job, I've tried multiple things:
- teaching calligraphy workshops
- doing on-site calligraphy for brands
- offering business coaching for creatives
- building a YouTube channel (75,000+ subscribers as of August 2024)
- created an Etsy shop selling Canva templates
- started affiliate marketing -created and sold my own courses
I've always struggled with being multi-passionate and wanting to do all the things. For a really long time, I thought I had to pick just one niche or topic and stick with it, but whenever I tried doing that, I always felt trapped.
So now I'm embracing it—I'm doing all the things and I'm going to thrive.
Career
What I love most about what I do is the variety and freedom it brings. Whether I’m teaching calligraphy, creating content for my 75,000+ YouTube subscribers, or coaching other creatives, I’m always excited by the different ways I get to express myself and help others. Plus, I get to be creative every single day, which is a dream come true.
One of the coolest things I’ve done so far is living out my lifelong dream of becoming a digital nomad. I spent 7 months traveling around Southeast Asia last year, all while growing my business. Connecting with other creatives and building a life full of freedom and creativity has been so rewarding.
My YouTube journey has been quite the ride. It grew super slowly for the first two years, and I was honestly starting to wonder if it was ever going to take off. Then, I had a video about my first month on Etsy results blow up, and that’s when things really started to happen. I grew from 4,000 subscribers to 10,000 subscribers in one month.
