Welcome to Lines & Littles –

A Creative Haven for Moms and Kids

Hi, I’m Catherine Gunarso—calligrapher, educator, and founder of Lines & Littles, a cozy creative studio and kid-friendly coffee shop in the making, based in Marin County.

 

Like many moms, I found myself craving something that didn’t seem to exist:

A space that felt calm and beautiful for me—and playful and engaging for my child.

A place where moms could drink a warm latte, make art, connect with others, and still keep their little ones close.

 

So I decided to build it.

From Calligraphy Studio to Creative Community Space

Before launching Lines & Littles, I founded Everlace Design Co, a modern calligraphy studio known for its elegant lettering and creative workshops. I’ve had the joy of working with brands like Bvlgari, Hermes, Amazon and teaching hundreds of students the art of hand lettering.

 

Those experiences taught me something important:

Creativity is not just a hobby—it’s a form of self-care.

 

That belief continues to guide everything we do at Lines & Littles.

A Kid-Friendly Art Studio and Café Designed for Moms

After having my son, I realized how few places truly support moms in both creativity and connection. I dreamed of a space where:

 

  • Moms could sip coffee, create art, and breathe

  • Kids could play safely and freely

  • Community could grow naturally, without pressure

 

Lines & Littles is a hybrid space—part kid-friendly café, part art studio, part mom lounge—located in Marin, designed with the whole family in mind.

 

Whether you’re here for a parent-and-me class, a quiet moment with a latte, or an evening creative workshop, you’re welcome here.

Help Shape the First Creative Mom Lounge in Marin

We’re building this space with moms, not just for them. Here’s how you can be part of the journey:

 

 

Together, we can co-create a place where motherhood and creativity live side by side.

Motherhood Is Messy—But It’s Worth Building Around

Some days, I’m teaching a workshop or designing a new class. Other days, I’m reheating my coffee for the fourth time while chasing a toddler in socks. I’m not creating Lines & Littles because I’ve figured it all out—I’m creating it because I believe moms deserve more:

 

✨ More support

🎨 More creativity

☕ More calm moments to simply be

 

Thanks for following along. I’m so glad you’re here.

 

With love,

❤️ Catherine
