Why do I write the way I do?

At 3, I was losing a very specific battle:
Me vs. Handwriting.

Letters wouldn’t stay on the lines. My pencil grip was a disaster. And let’s not even talk about my G’s — they looked like confused jellyfish.

My teachers gave me the look.  
My parents gave me comparisons.  
And everyone gave me the same message:

“Write better.”  
Spoiler: I didn’t.

Instead, I started asking something no one else was asking:


“Why do I write the way I do?”  
And never stopped looking for the answer.

By 13, I wasn’t just noticing handwriting, I was decoding it.

Big loops? Trust issues.  
Tiny spacing? Boundary ninja.  
I was basically a
human lie detector at birthday parties.

Graphology didn’t come from books. It came from real people.  
I trained on it — like a human version of machine learning.

By 22, I’d cracked thousands of handwriting samples.  
By 25, this quirky obsession turned into my full-time profession.

Now? I’ve worked with
clients aged 5 to 95 years across 15+ countries — Students, CEOs, anxious teenagers, curious moms, the works.

Each piece of writing tells a story.  
Of
love, fear, resilience. Of people trying, failing, healing, growing.

All because one little girl once looked at her messy notebook and thought:


“Why do I write the way I do?”  
And never stopped looking for the answer.
