LIVE CALLIGRAPHY AND ENGRAVING

For Joy, calligraphy is the ultimate synthesis of what she loves: language, art and human connection. She specializes in live calligraphy and engraving for PR events, brand activations, conferences and other special occasions, where she creates a warm and personalized gifting experience.

She has been proud to partner with brands like Moët & Chandon, Lexus, TikTok, The Ritz Carlton, L’Oréal Paris and more, customizing products and creating keepsakes for VIPs and special guests.

Depending on the surface and desired permanence, Joy will recommend the calligraphy style and technique best suited for customization (be it traditional calligraphy, hand lettering, engraving, hot foiling or woodburning).

In general, it takes 2-5 minutes to customize an item, depending on the surface and complexity. Samples are requested ahead of the event for feasibility tests, and Joy will offer recommendations about the customization technique and process.

For high volume events or gifting experiences with a short time-frame, Joy can assemble a team of trusted artists.
