Meet your Calligrapher
After years of training, Belle is passionate about bringing handcrafted details of calligraphy and hand drawn illustration to brands, event planners, and gift givers to tell a story and create heartfelt connections with their clients and guests.
Her love for calligraphy started when she was younger, copying script fonts using her ballpoint pen to create thin and thick strokes to make her school projects feel extra.
Having worked in the healthcare industry, she revisited her creativity in times of burnout and led her to calligraphy. It became her form of self-care, a way of finding magic in the mundane. She mainly writes inspiring quotes with floral illustrations and shares them on social media. Her cat, Misty, sometimes makes a special appearance, appreciating the calm nature of calligraphy.
When you work with Belle, you’re not just hiring an artist but a creative partner who listens to your vision and transforms it into meaningful art. Whether it’s for intimate gatherings or thoughtful brand events, the experience is the same: intentional, handcrafted creations that make lasting impressions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is live event calligraphy?
Live event calligraphy is an on-site, personalized experience where I hand-letter names, words, or short phrases for your guests in real time. It’s often featured at brand activations, pop-ups, influencer events, and experiential marketing moments. Perfect for creating meaningful keepsakes your guests can take home.
What is your design process like for live events?
Each live event begins with a thoughtful conversation to understand your brand story, vision, and aesthetic. From there, I curate lettering styles, color palettes, and materials that align seamlessly with your event. On the day itself, I arrive early with a refined setup, professional tools, and a calm, welcoming presence. I perform by creating personalized pieces while sharing the story behind each one with your guests.
How far in advance should I book a live event?
I recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. If your event is coming up sooner, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to check availability! You can contact me through the Contact us page.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes. You’ll have an opportunity to review design previews before final creation. Minor refinements are included, while additional changes beyond the agreed scope may incur a fee.
