Calligraphy
The art of beautiful handwriting. Calligraphy services cover anything that can be hand-lettered directly onto a surface with pen and ink – timeless, elegant, and entirely custom to you.
Typical services: Place cards, handwritten menus, notecards, envelope addressing, invitations, and custom signage.
Live events and in-studio commissions – available worldwide.
Travel fees may apply for events; courier/shipping fees may apply for commissions.

Mugs
-
I don’t write in a specific font, but my own calligraphy handwriting that I’ve developed with years of practice. No writing is exactly the same. If you have a specific font/look that you’re looking to achieve, please feel free for each out to see what’s possible.
-
Send inspo photos or examples of what you’d like and we can look into this. Certain custom colours may be subject to additional sourcing fees.
Hand Engraving
An extension to calligraphy services, engraving is a permanent, luxurious finish, hand engraving is unmatched. Using a micro-drill, I etch custom designs and calligraphy directly onto a surface of your choice — I can also fill the design in a stunning metallic finish for extra impact.
Popular surfaces for engraving: Wine bottles, perfume bottles, candles, skincare/cosmetic packaging.
Engraving FAQ
-
Glass, metal, plastic, and select woods are common materials I engrave. If you already have a product in mind, send it my way and I'll let you know whether it'll work. Occasionally, I may ask for a sample first to test on just to be sure.
-
Anything with compressed air or carbonation — think champagne bottles, aerosols, sparkling wine, and similar. Engraving can compromise the surface and create a safety risk down the line, so I don't take that risk with your bottle or mine.
If your item can't be engraved, I'll always offer an alternative suggestion.
-
Yes — I use a dremel that etches directly into the surface at high speed, so the result is permanent.
Product Painting
From fragrance bottles to skincare packaging to luxury gift boxes, I hand-paint custom, one-of-a-kind designs using high-quality acrylic paint that dries fast — so your clients can even take their keepsake home within minutes
Popular surfaces for painting: Fragrance bottles, candles, cosmetics packaging, glass, luxury boxes, and more.
Popular painting requests: florals, pet portraits, and so much more
Painting FAQ
-
Common requests include champagne bottles, packaging, candles, canvas bags, and custom portraits — but if you've got something specific in mind, send it over and we'll figure out what's possible.
-
It's fully individualized based on the vision and detail involved, starting at $250 CAD (bottle cost not included).
-
It's long-lasting — I finish every piece with a sealer on top of the paint. That said, with heavy use, paint can chip over time, so I recommend it for items that are more display or gifting than everyday use (think candles, perfume bottles, décor) rather than daily items like water bottles or glasses.
Hot Foiling
For a finish that catches the light, hot foiling presses a crisp, metallic film onto ribbons, cards, and packaging — the kind of shine that flat print or standard ink just can't replicate. It's a fast, high-impact way to add a monogram, initials, or a custom design that instantly reads as luxury.
Popular uses for hot foiling: Ribbon detailing, leather goods, invitation and stationery accents, packaging trims, and monograms
Hot Foiling FAQ
-
Foiling is a technique that works on a variety of surfaces like — cardstock, ribbon, leather and more.
Because there’s a lot of variability between products and foil adherence, I may request a sample product before we go ahead. Not to worry, if foiling is not a fit, I always provide alternative options!
-
Yes & No — heat presses the foil directly onto the surface and adheres to it, so it won't peel or rub off with gentle handling. However, if handled heavily or improperly, it may peel off over time. Feel free to ask questions if you need more information!
-
Yes — gold & silver are popular foil colours I frequently use. If you have a special request, feel free to reach out and I can see if it’s possible. Added fees may apply for speciality custom colours.
