Hi, I’m Clarissa—calligrapher, creative partner, and detail maximalist.

I work with planners, couples, and brands to create custom calligraphy and design details that make people pause, feel something, and ask: “Wait… who did this?” From full invitation suites to live event personalization, I help you create moments that look stunning and run smoothly.

Yes, I care about your paper—but I also care about your deadline. If you want someone who can organize the chaos and make it beautiful, you’re in the right place.

I’ve been doing this since 2019, and over time, I’ve built a process that makes collaboration easy, communication clear, and the final result look like you hired a whole team—without actually needing one.

Details They Won’t Stop Talking About

 
 
 

Hire Inkwell Scripted

My work is hands-on, high-touch, and deeply collaborative. That’s why I only take on a limited number of projects each year—so every detail gets the attention it deserves.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, building a brand experience, or just want your guests to feel seen, I’ll help you figure out exactly what you need, how it should look, and how we’ll get it done—beautifully, thoughtfully, and on time.

Behind the Studio

Inkwell Scripted is a one-woman studio built on good taste, better systems, and the belief that even the smallest detail deserves intention.

I’m not just here to make things look pretty—I’m here to make them make sense. I bring the aesthetic and the Google Sheet. The eye for layout and the love of logistics. And when it all comes together? It’s so worth it.

“We had an excellent experience working with Clarissa for our wedding escort display. Our vision was somewhat unique—guest names on vintage pizza peels—and she completely nailed it. Elegant, modern, and fun. She took the lead where needed and the display was a total hit. Highly recommend!”
