Shop Small Saturday: Meet Our Team

November 27, 2020

My name is Erica Campbell and I am the founder of Be A Heart. I live in San Antonio, TX with my husband, Paul, who is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and our 10-month-old daughter, Frances. In 2013, I prayed the Christmas Novena (which starts tomorrow) asking for Mary to help guide me in my career path because I was very lost. I had this wild idea to become a calligrapher, even though I didn’t really know what calligraphers did. In 2015, as so many doors were closed to me and I was getting more work as a calligrapher, I revisited that idea to invest myself fully in the pursuit. When I asked my spiritual director about how I would know God’s will, he told me that God’s entire will is love and if I could love in my work, then I was following His will.

Be A Heart has taken many different forms since then, as the Holy Spirit continues to guide me. My hope is that in the beauty of our products, you will always sense God’s wide, all-encompassing love for you. Thank you for supporting not only my family but also our entire team.
