How This Swiss Calligrapher Grew Her Business From $15K to $30k in 6 Months

🇨🇭✨ Meet Sanda: the multilingual Swiss calligrapher who joined a “gringo” business program and is now on track to triple her income in just one year. Yes, really. When she joined The Craft Academy in February 2024, Sanda had made $15K the year before — and she was already doing well. But she knew she was meant for more. By mid-2024? She had already surpassed her previous year’s income. Now she’s on track to double or even triple it — and she’s doing it with a confident, well-rounded, elevated brand that works with luxury clients like Cartier, Diptyque, and Rolls Royce. 💼 In this episode, you’ll hear: - How Sanda scaled from side hustle to high-end brand - What changed once she joined The Craft Academy - The mindset and marketing moves that actually work in small markets - What made her invest despite doubts about a “gringo” program 😉 - Her best advice for creatives outside the U.S. 🌍 Whether you’re in Switzerland, Canada, the UK, or anywhere in between — this will inspire you to stop playing small. ⏳ Doors close Nov 7, 2025!
