Past Events

This past weekend was a whirlwind of creativity and elegance as I had the pleasure of hand engraving at Polo Ralph Lauren for the exclusive debut of Polo 67, their latest fragrance. As a New York City Calligrapher, Engraver, and live event artist specializing in on-site events and brand activations, this opportunity was nothing short of a dream come true.

The event coincided with the celebration of Father’s Day and National Outlet Shopping Day, adding an extra layer of excitement to the air. Witnessing the impact of live calligraphy on customers, as they indulged in the new scent and witnessed the personalization process firsthand, was pure magic.

Adding bespoke calligraphy to each fragrance elevated the event to a one-of-a-kind and unforgettable experience. These personalized touches brought a sense of luxury and exclusivity, turning each fragrance into a cherished memento of a special gifting moment.

As a firm believer in the power of experiential marketing and brand activations to forge emotional connections with customers, this live hand engraving event perfectly captured Polo Ralph Lauren’s dedication to artistry, attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional service.

I hope you all had a fabulous Mother’s Day weekend celebrating with your loved ones! Speaking of Mother’s Day, I had the absolute pleasure of spending two days at Tory Burch in Greenwich for a delightful Mother’s Day event. I love being able to share these special moments with you, as they truly make my work as a live event artist and brand activation specialist so fulfilling.

During this exciting event, I had the opportunity to hand engrave their stunning fragrances and even a watch. I also hand painted and lettered bags and wallets. It was a truly unique and personalized experience, one that I cherish every time I get to create these tailored pieces for such a prestigious brand.

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.

As a New York and Connecticut calligrapher and engraver, I take great pride in bringing a touch of elegance and sophistication to every event I attend. It’s moments like these that remind me of the fulfillment I get from my work, and I am so grateful to be able to share them with you.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of creating special love notes for Lagos Jewelry at Bloomingdale's. As a skilled calligrapher based in NYC and experienced live event artist, adding elegance to each note was a delightful privilege, especially in setting the mood for the upcoming Valentine’s Day festivities.
