Toronto Calligrapher · Painter · Engraver

Hey! I’m Caddie, so glad you’re here.

I'm a self-taught calligraphy artist based in Toronto – and, for context on where the perfectionist comes from, a full-time pharmacist by day. Both career paths taught me the same lesson: precision isn't optional, and neither is showing up unprepared.

I've always loved art for as long as I can remember, but I ended up pursuing healthcare instead. It’s a tale as old as time. But something always felt a little incomplete, like I was missing a creative outlet of my own. Then one day, a friend asked me to try my hand at her wedding seating chart – I said yes without thinking twice and was hooked almost immediately. One opportunity lead to the next and through it Leo Lettering was born.

Let's Chat!

It’s all right there in the name:

Fire. Creative. Confident.
And a Natural Leader.

– and that’s exactly what you get when working with Leo Lettering.

Who I Work With

Thoughtful Gifters. You want something that can't be bought twice — a gift or keepsake that actually shows you thought about it.

Brands & PR Teams. You need an on-site artist who can deliver a polished, on-brand experience for your VIPs, without a hitch.

Corporate Celebrations & Planners. Holiday parties, client gifts, office milestones — if your team deserves something better than a fruit basket, that's exactly where I come in.

Anyone Planning a Gift and/or Celebration. Weddings, engagement parties, showers — if there's a detail worth getting right, I'd love to help you get there.

Don't see yourself in the list above? That's perfectly fine – if you're after something personal, well-made, and a little different from what everyone else is offering, then we're probably a good fit!

The Person Behind the Pen

Born on August 11th, a Leo through and through.

When I'm not on-site for an event or working on a commission, I'm probably spending time with my fur babies (unapologetically over-devoted pet mom over here), somewhere with a strawberry matcha latte in hand, or doing absolutely nothing productive – because even a self-proclaimed perfectionist needs a day off!

My Philosophy

I pride myself in bringing a modern yet timeless aesthetic to every piece I create. Whether that's a hand-painted fragrance bottle for a PR launch or a handwritten card for your favourite person. I make it look easy (it's not), which is exactly why you hire a professional.

Whether you're a luxury brand, a PR agency, or a thoughtful gifter who refuses to settle for ordinary, I'm confident we can create something not only meaningful absolutely unforgettable.

What Makes Leo Lettering Different

You work with me directly.

No subcontracted artists, no assembly line — every single piece is handcrafted by yours truly.

I work the room, not just the artist table.

Years of on-site experience with luxury brands and PR teams means that I know exactly how to keep an in-person event or brand activation running smoothly.

Nothing is ever exactly the same twice.

Handwritten and hand-painted work is impossible to replicate — that's the point.

I make it easy.

From first inquiry to final delivery, I take care of the details so you don't have to.

Client Love

"One of my favourite details from our wedding was our personalized ribbon name cards, beautifully created by Caddie. From the moment I shared my vision, Caddie brought it to life with so much care, creativity, and attention to every little detail. I loved that each guest was able to take home their personalized ribbon as a keepsake. It made our place cards so much more than just seating assignments; they became meaningful mementos filled with love and memories. Thank you Caddie, from the bottom of my heart - for helping bring my dream wedding to life. Your beautiful work added such a personal and memorable touch to our day and it means so much to us. We will always be grateful for the care and passion you poured into every single ribbon"

"Caddie has been a client of our brand for a very long time. Through our conversations, we discovered that she specializes in hand engraving and painting. She is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with. There were times when we lost track of time, she would stay and complete the final engraving pieces for our clients. Whenever there were special requests or concerns, she was always willing to help and provide support. Her work was truly amazing and generated a lot of business during our on-site events. Caddie is truly great to work with!"
