Hi! I’m Chelsie Tamms, the name and face behind Lettering Works.
I’m a lettering artist and brand strategist with 10+ years of experience doing what I love most: offering original art and products designed to uplift the community. I work with museums in both a wholesale and custom design capacity.
From selling in a single museum gift shop in Central Illinois to supplying the Field Museum and Chicago History Museum with custom collections to getting involved with the Museum Store Association, museums have always played a special role in my business since its inception in 2016.
I know that museum relationships take time to build and am ready to connect with new opportunities to see how I can best be of service. Get in touch via my wholesale page or grab a spot on my calendar here.
