I specialize in the captivating art of calligraphy, transforming names, personal mottos, and heartfelt messages into works of art using traditional and classic techniques.

My personalized services are designed to meet your needs, whether it's on-demand or on-site in New York City and Connecticut or for events anywhere in the world. From luxury retail events and corporate functions to trade shows and personal gatherings, I am dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences through my calligraphy expertise. 

With proficiency in various calligraphy styles, from modern to classic to flourished, I can tailor my work to reflect your brand's aesthetic and artistic vision. The ability to seamlessly transition between different lettering styles allows me to provide a personalized touch, empowering guests to customize items to their preferences and artistic tastes, enriching their experience and fostering brand loyalty.

For on-site brand activations, PR gifting, or influencer events, I specialize in customizing a range of items, including place cards, menus, invitations, envelopes, and more. I can also digitize my calligraphy for print reproduction on custom menus, invitations, and signage.

 My expertise extends beyond traditional paper surfaces to encompass a variety of materials such as fabrics, bags, cosmetics, water bottles, and numerous other products, including shampoos, hair care items, paper fans, ornaments, and more. Regardless of the medium, I excel at hand lettering with finesse and precision.

What items can be personalized with calligraphy on-site? 

Paper: Note cards, gift tags, place cards, escort cards, menus, invitations, envelopes, brand packaging

• Non-Paper: Fabrics, bags, leather goods, fruits, leaves, cosmetics, beauty and hair care products, plates and glassware, shoes, apparel, etc.

The possibilities are endless! If you have a product, I can find a way to personalize it and love working on unique and unconventional surfaces!

*Hand embroidery lettering is also available for fabric surfaces.

How long does it take to personalize an item on-site? 

Timing varies based on the exact length of the text, product, and chosen script. Typically, a basic name engraving can be completed in just 1 to 2 minutes, while envelopes usually take around 6 minutes each. 

During on-site sessions, I work efficiently without the need for guidelines or templates. Once a request is received, I start engraving directly on the paper, ensuring a swift and seamless experience for live activations.
