"Nothing short of impeccable"
“Wow! Nerissa’s work is nothing short of impeccable. I had her engrave some perfume bottles for my wedding, one as a gift and one for me. Not only did she engrave the bottles but she went the extra mile and decorated the box as well. It is a wonderful keepsake from my wedding that I will always cherish. Nerissa was easy to work with from the start. She communicated very clearly and drop off/pick up was extremely easy. I know her services are beyond engraving so I would highly recommend her for your next event!”

Hello, I'm Nerissa!
For me, calligraphy is more than pretty penmanship. It is an expression of love, lettered.
My journey into calligraphy began nearly 10 years ago while preparing for my own wedding. What started as a way for me to bring a personal touch quickly grew into a deep passion for the art form. Since then, I’ve proudly studied under masters of traditional calligraphy styles and some of today’s most accomplished contemporary lettering artists. I am dedicated to honing my skills and expanding my creative approach.
Every piece I create is crafted with care, from wedding envelopes to custom commissions. I do my work with love and joy, whether I’m in the studio or on site for live events. My goal is to leave you with something that is not only beautiful, but also conveys the feeling that every detail has been thoughtfully considered, because it has.
