Hi there, I’m Sumbo…

…an award-winning copywriter turned lettering and calligraphy artist. Surrounded by a lot of talented art directors and illustrators at my day job, I submitted to involuntary peer pressure and became obsessed with lettering and calligraphy.

I learned all that I could about the art, taught myself, made a lot of mistakes, and then learned from a lot of the pros you probably know. Now, I infuse my copywriting abilities with my lettering and calligraphy skills to tell stories, solve problems, and bring a little more colour into my clients’ projects; not just through words, but also through impressive visuals. 

My lettering style is mostly expressive, illustrative, imperfect, and most importantly, fun. 

If you have a project that you think I can help you with, are curious to see how good I am, or just want to ask which evil Grimm fairytale I love the most, why not drop me a line at sumbopinheiro@gmail.com

Don’t be shy. 

What’s the worst that can happen?
