OBSESSIVELY DETAILED.
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED.
UNFORGETTABLE BY NATURE.

Virginia-based calligrapher serving DC, Charlottesville, Richmond, and nationwide.

 For weddings + brands who deserve more than just a font.

You’ve pinned the vibe, saved the inspo—but now you’re ready for something truly personal.
I create custom invitations, day-of paper, and live event artistry rooted in tradition, refined in execution, and designed to make an impression. Think: one artist, one streamlined process, one unforgettable suite of details.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, designing an experience, or elevating a brand moment—this is where elegance meets intention, and the only thing you’ll be second-guessing is why you didn’t book sooner.

 

This is for you if...

  • You believe etiquette doesn’t have to be boring

  • You want Pinterest-level visuals without the stress spiral

  • You value classic techniques and meaningful presentation

  • You want guests to feel considered—not just impressed

  • You want to trust someone who cares as much as you do

Wedding Invitations & Day-of Details

From save the dates to seating charts, I design custom invitation suites and cohesive paper goods that actually feel like you.

Timeless, intentional, and just bold enough to make your guests pause (and maybe steal the menu).

On-Site Artistry

Live calligraphy, engraving, and foiling for weddings, events, and brand activations.

I personalize each piece in real time—glassware, fragrances, luggage tags—while guests watch in awe (and immediately pull out their phones).

Behind the Ink

Clarissa
Founder & Creative Director

Hi, I’m Clarissa—artist, calligrapher, and creative problem-solver with a perfectionist streak and a very good eye.

I turn blank pages (and blank stares) into custom paper goods and live event artistry that make people feel seen—and make planners breathe easier.

Clients trust me because I get the aesthetic. I anticipate the ask. And I make the details look effortless (even when they aren’t).

I believe taste is teachable, etiquette isn’t dead, and a well-timed handwritten name can still make someone feel unforgettable.

“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!”
