I’m still speechless at the incredible the .fletcher wedding fair for NYBFW

From onsite calligraphy place cards to engraving beautiful heart jewelry boxes to being part of the wedding fair, I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate bridal fashion week.

Etsy and Tanner Fletcher never miss, so it’s no surprise that every detail of the day was thoughtfully curated.

So many guests were getting married and loved the idea of lo live engraving for their own weddings!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so amazing and for capturing such beautiful shots throughout the day!

The live events that stay with you the longest are the ones that feel personal.

The kind where it’s clear the details were designed with people in mind. You don’t just attend, you feel part of something.

Where the experience pulls you in, sparks conversations, and creates moments you didn’t expect.
And by the end of the night, you’re not just leaving an event, you’re leaving with a feeling you’ll remember

Any surface can be personalized, but is engraving always the best option? The key is surface compatibility. This is part 1 of engraving ideas. These are some of the most commonly engraved items. What do you want to see next?

What a blessing to do wha I love for the brands I love.

Working with is always such a dream and this was no exception. Gold place cards compliment the tablescape color theme so perfectly.

Have a private event coming up and need place cards? It’s the missing detail on your table that will have guests in awe. Send me an email or DM to work together!

Thank you for capturing such amazing photos!

Diptyque Valentine’s Day event on the Upper East Side.

UES store events always remind me how incredible the community is. Clients were fully immersed in the engraving as they watched, recorded, and had the best commentary as I engraved their fragrances and candles. It truly shows that a live calligrapher engraving each item with love by hand is something a machine can never replicate. Every experience is filled with good conversation, a little education about the process, a custom personalization, and absolute awe in experiencing the entire process in-person.

Looking for the activation to create an unforgettable experience for guests? Send me an email or DM and let’s create something amazing!

Foiled leather notebooks for private event

Can’t share the client 🤫 but can share the work!

These notebooks foiled so smoothly and guests were in awe of how quickly the process was. It only took a few minutes from filling out the personalization form to receiving their personalized notebook.

High volume events doesn’t mean cookie cutter generic gifts. I’m able to custom gifts for each guest quickly to ensure all guests have the opportunity for personalization or we’ll work together to bring on the right number of artists for the super high volume events because each of your guests deserve a custom experience.

I don’t do gifting for the sake of it. I create personalizations that make people stay, watch, record, and obsess. If “forgettable” isn’t your vibe, you’re in the right place.

I’m Katie, your NYC calligraphy bestie! I create live calligraphy, engraving, and foiling experiences for brands and couples who want their events to feel intentional and memorable, not overproduced.

Your guests won’t just stop by. They’ll stay, watch, record, and obsess. I turn products into personal keepsakes. The kind guests don’t toss, forget, or regift. If you want people glued to your product and talking about it after the event, this is it.

If you want to create a memorable experience for your guests, submit an inquiry through my website or send me an email.

“Do you only write on paper?”

If it’s a surface, it can be personalized! When I say I’m a calligrapher, most people imagine writing with ink on paper, but that’s only part of it. If you think “can this be personalized” the answer is almost always “yes!”

Here’s a short list of what I’ve personalized before. Is there anything else you want to see?

Weddings, dinners, and private events

These are a few of my favorite place cards I’ve created over the years for weddings, events, and dinners.

One of my favorite memories is a guest taking home the place card to save in a memory box because she loved how her name was written.
