Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of hand lettering personalized ornaments for the stunning holiday launch party celebrating the Ariana Madix x DSW collaboration. Set at the beautifully appointed 620 Loft & Garden, with breathtaking views of Rockefeller Center, it was an event full of joy, style, and festive spirit.

A Personal Touch for 185 Guests — In Under Three Minutes Each!
Personalizing ornaments for 185 guests in just two hours was a thrilling challenge — one that called for precision, speed, and a lot of heart. Each guest had the option to choose from six exclusive holiday illustrations inspired by Ariana’s collection: charming hearts, a classic wreath with bow, vibrant red or soothing blue holly, delicate snowflakes, or rustic pinecones. To complement these designs, I hand lettered names or initials in a style that added warmth and timeless elegance to each keepsake.

Crafting such personalized pieces, live and on-site, invites guests into an intimate experience — turning a simple ornament into a cherished memory that they can take home for years to come.

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to bring a personalized touch of elegance to the Amazon Holiday Soirée, held on the scenic High Line in New York City. Partnering with the prestigious Estée Lauder, I was entrusted to hand engrave 250 “Beautiful Magnolia” fragrance bottles for guests—an experience that beautifully combined artistry, precision, and the spirit of experiential marketing.

The Art and Challenge of Hand Engraving at Large-Scale Events
Hand engraving at a brand activation event of this scale comes with unique challenges. The timeline was tight, the guest count high, and the expectation for quality and consistency was paramount. Crafting bespoke, personalized fragrance bottles for 250 guests demanded meticulous planning and a well-coordinated team effort.

Choosing the Perfect Style: Copperplate Script with Silver Fill
To complement Estée Lauder’s classic and refined aesthetic, we selected a timeless copperplate script to beautifully adorn each guest’s monogram initials. To add a touch of sophistication while maintaining legibility and durability, the letters were filled with silver.

This calligraphy engraving technique not only enhanced the bottles’ visual appeal but also celebrated the luxury synonymous with the brand. The engraved perfume bottles emerged as elegant keepsakes, perfectly suited for holiday gifting and lasting memories.

The Power of Teamwork in NYC Engraving Projects
Executing this large-scale engraving project flawlessly would not have been possible without a dedicated team. Alongside six talented artisans led by the expert @sunsetscribe, we worked seamlessly to ensure every personalized fragrance bottle was completed with precision and care.

From managing workflow to ensuring quality control, teamwork was key in providing an exceptional guest experience during a lively brand event. This collaborative spirit truly exemplifies the value of experienced NYC calligraphers and engravers in delivering memorable, high-quality results at demanding events.

Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity to create hand-engraved brushed silver ornaments for the exquisite Venus et Fleur. As a New York City event artist and NYC engraver, moments like these allow me to combine artistry and craftsmanship to bring a brand’s vision to life.

For this special project, I employed a delicate copperplate script enhanced with light flourishes to perfectly complement Venus et Fleur’s classic and romantic aesthetic. The refined elegance of the script harmonizes beautifully with the understated luxury of the brushed silver ornaments.

Ornaments are such meaningful keepsakes, and in this case, their charm is amplified by the signature scents that Venus et Fleur is known for—making these pieces truly multisensory treasures.

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.

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.

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.
