In Their Words (because event planners absolutely
rave about live calligraphy too)

“Live calligraphy is a treasured art form that many people are interested in, but don't know a lot about - and that's what makes it special. If you are looking for an interactive, classic, and creative experience for guests, Emma is perfect for your event.”

Leah Freeman, Nine PBS

“Emma was an incredible vendor and partner to work with. She was consistently responsive, reliable, and a clear communicator throughout. She supported us across multiple phases of the project and was exceptionally easy to collaborate with at every stage, from pre-event planning to live event support and post-event wrap-up. The project truly wouldn’t have been as successful without her.”

Sylvie Harper, Salt XC

Meet Emma, Your Calligrapher and Creative Partner

Since 2017, I’ve worked with event planners, retail teams, and agencies to add the perfect touch of calligraphy to their event. When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a calligrapher, you’re teaming up with a creative partner and event strategist. I’ll help you determine the best activation for your event, suggest and source items to align with your goals, and make sure everything goes as smoothly (and beautifully!) as possible.

My all-time favorite conversations start with “Okay so what if we did …”. I love teaming up with event planners and creatives to plan the perfect activation (and I’m a total sucker for a good themed event).
