Live calligraphy

that hits different.

Interactive calligraphy, engraving, and foiling experiences for corporate events, brand activations, and special celebrations that leave a lasting impression.

Live Calligraphy & Engraving for Brands & Special Events

As a live event calligrapher and engraver, I create immersive experiences where guests join in as custom pieces come to life in real time, made just for them. Each item is personalized on the spot, then gifted as a meaningful keepsake they'll actually want to take home.
 

It’s an interactive moment that adds energy to the event, fosters connection, and turns artistry into an experience people remember. It's also just the most fun for everyone (including me!).

Before the Magic Happens

Ahead of your event, we'll chat through specifics, then I'll guide you through items we can personalize that will work best for your celebration. Everything will feel intentional and curated - because it is. If you've already got this part covered, you're one step ahead.

All Hands (Literally) on Deck

I arrive with custom order forms, table signage and decor, and (usually) an assistant to keep things running smoothly. Then, I get to work personalizing each piece on the spot. Unexpected hiccups? Don't sweat it - I've seen it all and I'm ready to adapt on the fly.

Right Here, Right Now

Names, initials, and sweet messages are added to favors as the event unfolds. No two pieces turn out the same, and we're sure to hear lots of "you're making it right now?!" and "that's your handwriting?!" It's definitely not the worst part of my job.

Memories in Motion

Guest head home with a custom gift and a story to share about it. They'll tell everyone they know - and they'll never forget the energy and artistry in the room at your event.

Services begin at $975 for up to 3 hours.

Most events average $1,500 - $3,000+ depending on service type (calligraphy, engraving, foiling), hours, and location.

Katie is absolutely amazing! She was a delight to work withfriendly, responsive, and incredibly creative. She joined us for a baby shower and custom-designed makeup bags live at the event, turning the experience into something truly memorable. All the guests loved their personalized goodie, and watching Katie work her magic added a unique and interactive element to the celebration. Her artistry and professionalism made the day extra special. I can't recommend her enough for anyone looking to elevate their event with a personal touch!
