A love for “Grandma Hobbies”
Hi! I'm Stephanie, the owner and artist behind Rooted Arts & Design in Temecula, California. By day, I'm an education specialist, and by night (and nap time!), I'm a mom of three toddlers who loves creating meaningful, handcrafted keepsakes.
I've always been drawn to beautiful handwriting and lettering. About 10 years ago, I started creating wedding signs using embossing and faux calligraphy on glass, and that passion has grown into a business centered around celebrating life's most meaningful moments.
I specialize in handwritten wedding vows, custom event signage, engraved gifts, and personalized keepsakes. Whether it's a pair of champagne flutes for an anniversary, a handwritten vow display, or a custom gift for a teacher or coach, I love transforming words and memories into pieces that will be treasured for years to come.
What I love most about calligraphy is that it slows us down in a world that moves so quickly. Every stroke is intentional, and every piece tells someone's story. It's an honor to create work that becomes part of weddings, celebrations, and everyday moments worth remembering.
Through Rooted Arts & Design, my goal is simple: to create timeless, handcrafted pieces that help people hold onto the memories that pass far too quickly.
You can find my work on Etsy at https://rootedartsdesign.etsy.com or follow along on Instagram @rooted_arts_design, where I share behind-the-scenes glimpses of my creative process, finished pieces, and new custom work.

My goal with starting this business was to make memorable keepsakes for you to cherish. I will work with your budget to create the custom piece of your dreams. Please remember that it is my time and labor and love that go into the piece. Every piece is handmade, handwritten, and hand lettered.

Yes. Special add-ons can include framing, deckled paper, watercolor accents, specialty ink, etc. If you have something specific in mind be sure to give me pictures and include those details in our follow-up. That is why initially it is just a deposit to start the work. Everyone’s piece will be uniquely customized to their liking.
