Paola Gallegos, also known as Calligraphilic, has a degree in tourism and is wildly passionate about anything to do with letters. She currently works as a calligrapher and lettering artist, and has been slowly gravitating towards italics since she can remember.

Throughout her career, she has collaborated with brands such as Claro, Cyzone Community, Staedtler, Artline, and Faber Castell.
