On-Site Calligraphy & Engraving
​
I specialize in live, on-site personalization experiences that bring elegance, craftsmanship, and thoughtful detail to every event. What sets an event apart is often the personal touches that make each guest feel seen and celebrated. Whether it’s a hand-lettered card, a beautifully engraved product, or a custom gold-foiled gift, these details create memorable, lasting connections.
​
Using modern calligraphy, hand engraving, gold foiling, and leather embossing, I personalize products and paper items in ways that elevate your brand and delight your guests.
​
If you are planning an event or brand activation, I would love to discuss how my on-site services can enhance your guests’ experience and create unforgettable moments.
