I N T I M A T E the most endearing way to add an intimate touch to any gathering is with place cards. Rich black ink, flowing organic script, and pillowy handmade paper shown here graced the tables of a Connecticut wedding. Bring me all of your place card visions, this is my favorite detail to create for weddings.

The only criterion for a great holiday gift this year is personalization. Okay, and maybe some thoughtful planning, but hey you’ve got a jump on that! Branded goods are fine, but when you make it about the recipient instead of the company, they become great. If you’re planning a party, having a calligraphy & engraving artist on site is entertaining + engaging for your guests!

There wasn’t a stronger or broader back in Indiana youth hockey that could carry the hyphenated name and double digit number as proudly as Xander! But when the helmet came off, the fierce, committed defender had a great smile and such kind eyes. We are grateful to have shared so many victories with him as a teammate from @iyhajrfuel days to the @carmelicehounds . His unexpected passing last Sunday after we just spent an afternoon on the ice is certainly the biggest loss that our team, the Carmel hockey community, and his family has ever had to walk away from. Forever 💙 #75 🤍

B A B Y S H O W E R invites for the sweetest mama to be @katherine.mei.photo These minty envelopes with white ink were a perfect match for a Peter Rabbit party theme dreamt up by @beauandcocreative ! A casual calligraphy script was used for the guest names, and the street addresses were done in a monoline capital. I love how this @drphmartins bleedproof ink gives a dimensional feel to the envelope. Visit @kaitlinmendozaphoto or see my repost tab to see the other beautifully captured details of the afternoon!

I’m always happy to make a sample envelope for clients so photos can be taken without concern of sharing personal information. Mill street is home to the party @somethingsplendidco!

M I L L I O N A I R E cake bringing out a ridiculously huge smile while having lunch with my MIL last week @thecakebakeshop

By the looks of my inbox, everyone is in holiday prep mode!

Initial requests always begin with “how many can we do during that time?” I have those crucial answers.

But more importantly, positive interaction is THE thing that makes live-events successful!

Entertain with calligraphy, engraving, hot foiling, or painting, with this smile welcoming your guests. You know what to do to start the conversation!

This vintage julep cup was begging to be engraved with Roman numerals in honor of our wedding anniversary! We day tripped from Carmel to Kentucky for @keeneland September sale. It is a gorgeous facility, steeped in history and tradition. The weather was great for buying, it was the most perfect late summer day! There was so much to see and do on their campus, from the stables to the action of the auction floor. I am fascinated with the library and this hand-embroidered jockey jacket! Have you been to Keeneland?

Let me know if you think I should let this patina have its moment or give it a good polish?

This stately @parfumsdemarly Haltane + this stunning @maisonfranciskurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 were a spectacular scent pairing for a beautiful bride and her handsome groom-now celebrating their first wedding anniversary!

C A R S & C O F F E E on Saturday mornings spent with my guys. I enjoy it for all of the creative inspiration found in paint jobs, body lines, and iconic logos. These shows have such a positive vibe.

E L E C T R I C party last night well into the midnight hour, celebrating the partnership of 4Aces Golf Club and FlyHouse! The metal bells atop these beautiful hand-painted bottles of Clase Azul were personalized with guests’ requests. Dual artist engravers, case after case of tequila, and the gorgeous setting of the private Wheelhouse Social Club was an unforgettable way to welcome LIV Golf to Indy this weekend!

After a brief registration, attendees popped over to my station where I personalized these beautifully handcrafted leather wine stem charms from @uptowncommon with gold ink. There’s always a cheeky request or two--shared here for your smiles if you spot them!

@lucasoilproducts had enthusiasm for hosting for their LUCAS OIL UNCORKED 2025 dinner featuring @silveroakcellars at @prime47carmel_stk this spring.

W E L C O M I N G guests to the table with calligraphed placards is one of the most genuine ways to tell them that you value their presence. With events of this size, guests lists are often changing even up to the moment they arrive at the welcome table. I was available on site to make any last minute requests to update these cards as changes happened.

W I V E S + G I R L F R I E N D S of the @colts are a force. I am a much bigger fan of football after meeting these gorgeous ladies during a private party @3uprooftoplounge ! They were the ultimate hype girls, sharing compliments as I engraved these petite jewelry boxes. Some of these amazing ladies (and their men) are shifting teams as the spring season rolls around, and I’m wishing them all the best, because they better the communities they live in. Maybe there should be WAGS jerseys? 💙🤍

Client details were gathered, hand-drawn, brought to life with watercolored images, and then layered with calligraphy. Each special piece of artwork was mounted and presented to the recipients in an art sleeve. Leveling up the love game over here. x o x o

p.s. how hard did I fall for the amazing staff when they asked me to consider wearing that hardware necklace and those diamond earrings for the evening? They are the best at what they do!

Business communication, but take it up a notch. When you recognize that how you present your information is as important as what you say, I’m here to help. Sometimes letters and invitations to the board and investors deserve a little more than the office printer. This style is clean, easy to read, and free from distracting flourishes that most people associate with calligraphy. Even though I don’t work in a corporate office anymore, I understand what it takes to make the impact your office desires.

A ten-year anniversary this September for @hoteltangodistillery was cause to get excited! These bottles were engraved in-person with a hand-held engraving tool with little to no drafting. The messages were selected by guests and they enjoyed watching as their bottle was personalized in front of them. If you’re looking to celebrate a milestone in your business with a unique way to engage your clients or employees, live-event offerings and inspiration can be found on my website, rccalligraphy.com

When you hire a live event artist, it’s not just about their talent. Fortunately for the world, lots of people are insanely talented! But a live event artist is a professional who will respect your company’s values, engage your customers on your behalf, plan and prep with site visits and product samples, and follow up with insights on the event’s successes, challenges and future opportunities.

It’s perfectly easy and convenient to hone my craft by working away on commissions in my studio. When you hire me for a live-event, you get both the artist and the professional, drawing from my career marketing experience in the fashion, manufacturing, and building sectors. You get my past years of involvement in trade shows and conventions, product launches, and promotions.

Best of all, this is a genuine smile! What a great event I helped with this weekend @hoteltangofletcherplace! Let’s have some fun like this event together soon?

When you hire a live event artist, it’s not just about their talent. Fortunately for the world, lots of people are insanely talented! But a live event artist is a professional who will respect your company’s values, engage your customers on your behalf, plan and prep with site visits and product samples, and follow up with insights on the event’s successes, challenges and future opportunities.

It’s perfectly easy and convenient to hone my craft by working away on commissions in my studio. When you hire me for a live-event, you get both the artist and the professional, drawing from my career marketing experience in the fashion, manufacturing, and building sectors. You get my past years of involvement in trade shows and conventions, product launches, and promotions.

Best of all, this is a genuine smile! What a great event I helped with this weekend @hoteltangofletcherplace! Let’s have some fun like this event together soon?

HOTEL TANGO turns TEN! Their party @hoteltangofletcherplace this weekend was everything a good time with friends should be!

Live music, cake, lots of hugs and glasses raised, all in the warmest atmosphere of support. In their casual setting on a gorgeous September afternoon, there was nothing but cheerful laughter as each successful dunk tank drop donated to @gleanersfbindy.

@hoteltangodistillery released a ten year bourbon with a deep autumnal color and a golden dog tag that danced on the collar of the bottles. Guests were entertained as I engraved personal messages and basement bar names onto their bottles as they watched. Congrats to the team at Hotel Tango on ten awesome years!

I’ve been everywhere, man. Well, the envelopes I’ve calligraphed have been! This wedding order was sent to 25 states (my favorite to write out-Mississippi!) What’s even wilder than a guest list spread over half the country is that after being hand-cancelled, some guests received them just days later. Was it just post-office luck or was it this clean and classic style?

I was gifted this very treasured set of ruling pens and other technical tools from a family member this Christmas. They belonged to his late father, who had used them masterfully in his sign making business. I thought I’d share them here and their restoration process. I’d be ever grateful for qualified advice on how to properly clean them and restore them from anyone who has that kind of knowledge! I’m interested in caring for the wood box as well. One can only YouTube so much sage advice (there are plenty of weeds among the flowers), so feel free to share this post to help me hunt for help!

I’ll be bringing them along to the @juliewildmandesigns workshop with @thecalligraphyguildofindiana this weekend.

The loveliest part of being in a creative business is the variety of jobs that I’ve gotten to experience. I’ve had to fill out tax forms and establish vendor accounts for working with large companies and universities, but I’ve also met with a client in a coffee shop and been handed a small paper bag with boxed place-cards from a retail store. Sometimes, the big jobs and all of the hoops that need jumping through, organically lead to intimate ones like this one.

I met this couple while working at a holiday calligraphy event at Tiffany & Co., when they were not yet engaged. When the time came for their wedding (yay!) she reached out to have these acrylic tags made for their bridal party. The custom mixed paint used for the back of the tags matched the bridal party’s emerald green color and I just can’t get over that shimmer.

It doesn’t matter the size of the client or job, I’m grateful for you all!

Good as gold! There’s something so casually welcoming about these @nickelandnickelwinery bottles that just make me want to enjoy a glass with good company. These were for holiday gifting though, with their gold-filled, engraved initials.

Sometimes my studio practice looks like engraving a small perfume bottle just for my own enjoyment! This little cutie was a welcome gift for shopping at my new favorite shop @sezane this December. Each year around the holidays, a friend and I have invested in our creativity by taking a trip and enjoying the details of wherever we go. NYC just can’t be beat at Christmas! Where should we go next year?

This 10x speed drafting and engraving process is the same as it is for commission work.

Take a trip down to Candy Lane with me, it’s the best, I’ll impress! My youngest son wrote, directed, and produced this stop motion for RC. I think this secures his spot on the nice list this year.

It's the most merriest mail month of all! Holiday greetings and party invitations are on their way to lucky mailboxes all over the world!

How does it benefit you to hire a calligrapher?
Heartening first impressions-this cannot be overstated,
The know-how of processes and tools,
Etiquette guidance-for all the relationships and titles of today's society,
Custom ink matching-this dark blue ink color is drawn from the color of the invites,
Stimulating first impressions-stating it a little louder for those in the back!
