Live Painter in NYC: Hand-Painted Bags for Nordstrom’s Icon Beauty Event

Live Painter in NYC: Hand-Painted Bags for Nordstrom’s Icon Beauty Event

 

October 19, 2024

 

I had an absolute blast hand painting and lettering custom bags for Nordstrom’s recent Icon Beauty Event in NYC. There’s something truly special about creating art live for an audience, especially when it becomes a personalized keepsake for guests to cherish long after the event ends.

For this occasion, I custom mixed vibrant fabric paints so that the illustrations and hand calligraphy would really pop against the luxurious deep purple bags. From playful lipsticks to elegant perfume bottles adorned with bows, the designs perfectly captured the essence of beauty and glamour that Nordstrom embodies. The most popular choices were these chic motifs paired with hand calligraphed names—adding that bespoke touch that turns a simple bag into a memorable statement piece.

As a NYC calligrapher specializing in live painting and custom illustration, I love collaborating on brand activation and experiential marketing projects that allow me to bring a brand’s vision to life creatively and uniquely. Adding hand-painted details and personalized calligraphy enhances every guest’s experience at NYC events and brand events, giving them a tangible connection to the moment and making the occasion truly unforgettable.

If you’re interested in incorporating custom hand-painted bags, hand lettering, or other live art into your next NYC event or brand activation, I’d love to connect! These personalized touches provide the perfect way to wow your guests and create lasting impressions through thoughtful, artful experiences.

A huge thank you to Nordstrom and their incredible team for inviting me to be part of this stunning and joyful beauty event.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share with you the incredible experience I recently had at the Ferragamo flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. It was an honor to be part of a luxurious brand activation for Father’s Day!

During this extraordinary event, I had the pleasure of adding a touch of sophistication to Ferragamo’s stunning leather goods through heat foiling. From stylish shoes to elegant bags and sophisticated wallets, each piece received an exquisite and personalized embellishment. Additionally, I had the joy of creating custom calligraphy cards for guests, incorporating unique painted elements to ensure each card was a true work of art.

One of the highlights of the event was adding a glamorous touch by creating stunning red lips painted inside a classic red loafer. The attention to detail and artistry truly made this experience memorable and immersive.

This bespoke event was all about elevating the luxury brand activation, infusing it with personalized touches and creating an unforgettable experience for all guests.

But that’s not all; I also had the pleasure of calligraphing some custom Mother’s Day cards for the guests. There’s something truly magical about helping to create these heartfelt, bespoke pieces that become cherished memories for the lucky recipients.

The team at Tory Burch Greenwich was simply amazing, making the entire experience that much more enjoyable. Their warm welcome and kind-hearted nature truly added to the wonderful atmosphere of the event. I feel incredibly grateful to have been a part of such a special celebration.
