What I didn’t know then, was that the letters were in my blood. The tradition of Hebrew lettering stretches back thousands of years.

I began drawing letters when I was five years old.

Testimonies

What our clients say

“There’s something really magical about Gabriel. He’s the person who is imagining what the what is, and then creating something that’s just so beautiful.”

Serena Oberstein

Los Angeles, CA

“I still am amazed how you guys could just extrapolate that from my mind and my heart and my soul, and be able to translate what I knew but was having trouble verbally conveying.”

New Bedford, MA

Abrah Zion

“I am not a deeply spiritual person, but this has been a deeply spiritual experience for me.”

Your journey with us

01

First contact

with Maya

You write to us. Maya calls leads by phone. She is your guide from the very first word onward.

In your first conversation, she will walk you through what you can expect.

WHAT WE NEED
A few minutes of your time

TYPICAL TIMEFRAME
A reply within a few days

03

The concept

with Gabriel

If your story inspires him, Gabriel writes the concept, the idea that will guide the whole piece. This is where words, meaning and form first take shape together.

WHAT WE NEED
A story that asks to be drawn

TYPICAL TIMEFRAME
About a week

05

The model

with Daniel

Daniel takes a precise cast of your skin, a mold of the exact canvas the piece will live on. It captures every curve and contour of your body.

With this in hand, Gabriel composes the piece to the very topography it will be worn on, rather than to a flat page, so the proportions, the flow of the letters, and the placement are considered with the same care as the calligraphy itself.

WHAT WE NEED
A few minutes of your time

TYPICAL TIMEFRAME
A few minutes of your time

07

WHAT WE NEED
A tattooist to carry the drawing onto skin

TYPICAL TIMEFRAME

02

Your story

with Anna

Before a single letter is drawn, Anna sits with you to understand the meaning. You talk about the person, the verse, the memory: why these words, and why now.

This is the soul-stripping part. The story behind the words matters more to us than the words themselves.

WHAT WE NEED
Openness, the story behind the words

TYPICAL TIMEFRAME
Between a few weeks and a few months

04

Meeting Gabriel

in Berlin or over Zoom

You meet Gabriel personally, at the studio in Berlin, or over Zoom. Together you talk through the concept, the script and the placement before anything is drawn.
