Handcrafted Personalization, Created Just for You

Some gifts stand out not for their size or price, but for the thought behind them. In my studio, I transform simple objects into meaningful keepsakes through in-studio calligraphy, engraving, and heat debossing. Each commission reflects your story and appreciation for others.

Let's Work together

For Any Occasion

Whether you’re thanking a client, celebrating a milestone, or surprising someone special, I’ll help you bring your vision to life with a piece that feels personal and lasting. 

All commissions are crafted in my Calgary studio and available to clients across Canada. I’ve worked with:

  • Make your clients feel genuinely valued with thoughtful, handwritten, or engraved details that express appreciation and care. Send your stationery or products to my studio, and I’ll return them beautifully finished and ready to share.

  • Enhance gifting campaigns and product launches with elegant, personalized touches. From fragrance bottles to custom notes, each piece is designed to photograph beautifully and leave a lasting impression

  • From menus and place cards to other event details, I collaborate with planners to ensure every written element feels cohesive and considered, adding quiet sophistication to each celebration.

  • Celebrate life’s moments with keepsakes that carry meaning. Whether it’s an engraved perfume bottle, a set of handwritten notes, or a custom bridal gift, every project begins with your story and is crafted with intention.

The Art of Calligraphy

Calligraphy has a gentle beauty that invites you to pause and reflect.

Each commission is shaped with care – from the first sketch to the final engraved or foiled detail – turning simple materials into something lasting and meaningful. 

Every design is tailored to its recipient, balancing elegance and individuality so no two pieces ever feel the same. From place cards to fashion pieces and film props, each commission transforms imagination into something tangible and beautifully personal.
