August 8, 2024
What a whirlwind of creativity and collaboration at the grand opening of Mimi Cheng's x Wagamama restaurant in New York City! As the designated hand engraver for the event, I had the pleasure of adding a personal touch to the evening by customizing chopsticks for the guests. It was a unique experience to see the joy on everyone's faces as they received their beautifully engraved chopsticks, a truly personalized keepsake from this special occasion.
But the excitement didn't stop there! As fate would have it, I was called upon to showcase my calligraphy skills by quickly writing place cards for the guests. Thanks to always being prepared with my trusty ink and nib, I was able to whip up elegant and personalized place cards in no time, adding an extra touch of sophistication to the event.
Chopsticks may seem like a simple utensil, but they hold endless possibilities for personalization at brand events like this. Engraving names, dates, or even phrases can turn them into meaningful mementos for guests to take home and cherish. There's something magical about the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into hand engraving each chopstick, making it a fun and unforgettable experience for all involved.
Thank you, Mimi Cheng's and Wagamama, for letting me be a part of this incredible collaboration and for allowing me to add a touch of personal flair to the evening. Here's to more events filled with creativity, collaboration, and of course, beautifully engraved chopsticks!
