READY TO MAKE EVERY GUEST THE VIP?
Welcome to the world of custom calligraphy services,
where I transform any item into hand-crafted art in minutes.
Work with me
Think calligraphy is only for wedding invitations? Think again.
My calligraphy services are the game changer you've been searching for.
I'm Catherine, but you can call me Cat
I'm based in Los Angeles (and I'm always ready to travel)
Let’s get one thing straight…I don't just write names on products – I create experiences. My calligraphy and hand engraving transforms ordinary items into Instagram-worthy keepsakes that your guests will treasure. If you're looking for someone who'll obsess over every detail of your guest experience as much as you do, you're in the right place!
Because no one actually needs another item with their name on it, but everyone needs to feel valued.

In a world of been-there-done-that experiences, my event calligraphy services are the industry's best kept secret for engaging events. My little black book is full of clients like Patron, Netflix, the NFL Players Association, and other big names who know that with brand activations, it's go big or go home. With me, your guests don't just attend an event; they get high-touch, personalized service that turns ordinary swag into Instagram-worthy items.
Want to know the secret to experiential marketing that actually works? It's all in the details. And my calligraphy? It's the detail that turns heads and steal hearts.

I've got a service for every surface
calligraphy and lettering
I use a mix of dip pens, brush pens, and paint markers to create decorative handwriting that'll make your guests swoon. Compatible with everything from gift tags to textured totes, and even those textured surfaces you thought were off-limits.
hand engraving
Using a micro-drill, I etch bespoke designs into the surface of *almost* any item. Glass, metals, stone, porcelain - if you can dream it, I can engrave it. Even those fancy mirrored surfaces don't stand a chance against my steady hand.
debossing and wood burning
I use a heated tool with controlled pressure to impress a design that's not just seen, but felt. This debossing service is perfect for elevating surfaces like wood, leather (genuine or vegan), suede, and even the outside of a coconut!
freehand hot foiling
Think hot foil stamping had the market in a chokehold? Not a chance. I use heat-activated foil to imprint a free-hand calligraphy design onto the item. Leather goods? Easy. Silk ribbon? No problem. Velvet jewelry box? Consider it elevated.

I felt like she took my vision and Pinterest Board and turned it into reality. Honestly, even cooler than my Pinterest board. Her creations ended up being the items my guests raved about the most.

As A-listers like Demi Lovato and Kathy Hilton mingled, I offered perfume bottle engraving for each guest at the product launch of Ash by Ashley Benson. My custom engraving transformed each bottle into a personalized gifting experience.
The result? A product launch that had everyone from investors to celebrities reaching for their phones to capture their personalized bottles – proving the best event activation ideas combine high-end products with personalized moments.

When Bachelor Nation's favorite couple, Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour, tied the knot in Paris, they didn't just want a wedding – they wanted an experience. As their custom wedding favor curator, I designed a three-day gifting journey that kept their guests guessing.
Picture this: personalized tote bags at the welcome party, hand engraved room sprays at the rehearsal dinner, and bespoke jewelry and cufflinks at the wedding itself. My unique wedding favors became more than just gifts – they became part of the Bachelor wedding people couldn't stop posting.
