Live calligraphy and engraving for corporate events, retail activations, and brand experiences

I’m a St. Louis based live event artist with a professional background in experiential marketing and graphic design. Since 2017, I’ve worked with event planners, retail teams, and agencies to add the perfect touch of calligraphy to their event. My focus is not just on the beauty of the item, but on how adding live calligraphy drives sales, generates leads, and contributes to a successful guest event.

As an artist, I’m deeply invested in both the way that calligraphy looks and the way that a personalized item makes guests feel. Calligraphy is truly a lost art, and there’s a bit of magic in seeing your name written live in front of you by a skilled calligrapher. I love nothing more than crafting letters in front of guests and pausing time for a moment of pure delight.

But, as a marketer and former event planner, I know that delightful moment is lost if everything surrounding it is chaos. I know what it takes to run an event smoothly. I've intentionally built a nimble operation: quick load-in, minimal setup, and a tiny footprint with a big impact. With over a decade of experience, I work quickly, manage a queue gracefully, and keep the focus exactly where it belongs: on your guests. I keep a detailed log of both personalization data and anecdotes from guests to assist event planners in measuring the impact of adding a live calligrapher to their event.

If this sounds like something your next event needs but you’re not sure where to start, I’m a sucker for a good brainstorm call. If you have an out-of-the-box idea (or just the beginning of one!), I want to hear it. I like to tell clients I can write on just about anything that's not moving, and some of my favorite events have started with a "what if we tried..." conversation. I'd love to hear yours!
