My mission is to create magical lasting memories and personalised moments through the art of calligraphy and engraving

I am passionate about the emotions and experience that calligraphy can bring in people’s life. Calligraphy personalisaton can turn a simple gift into a lasting heirloom and make an event memorable.

I fell in love with the mindfulness effect of pointed pen calligraphy at the end of 2016 with a Modern Calligraphy workshop in London. Along the way, I discovered the timeless elegance of Copperplate Calligraphy and invested time and study to master this style combined with flourishing details. Trained under world-renowned calligraphers, I have developed a strong affiliation with a range of scripts that hold a modern appeal. These include classical elegant and ornamental scripts as well as modern, ethereal and understated scripts.  

Started as a hobby, it became a natural transition into a small business and officially set up the base in 2019.

I use classical and modern calligraphy tools & methods, including dip pen calligraphy, brush pens and calligraphy engraving is my newest addition, and have previously worked with various brands including Repossi, G Collins and Sons, Charlotte Tillbury, Lisa Eldridge, Diptique, Molton Brown, Paperblanks, Manuscript Pen Company just to name a few.

A most proud moment of my experience as a calligrapher has been filming as ‘hand-double’ in a Netflix movie for some calligraphy writing scenes.

When I am not in my studio, you’ll find me in parks, a place where I like to recharge and contemplate, although nowadays my time alone is almost none as I spend a lot of time with my little boy Oliver. We welcomed him in our lives in August 2022 and it’s been one of my biggest dream come true.

I love travelling and discovering new places and have a weakness for French and Italian desserts and wines and also fond of their architecture and art history. Paris, Florence and Verona are my favourite cities that I visited.

Favourite way to unwind is reading, cooking and baking and since March 2023 I started weightlifting where I attend rigorously 3-4 times a week at 6 am.

I am a romantic at heart that truly believe in happy endings.

The craziest thing I did in my life was saying a big ‘YES’ to my husband after only 3 weeks of dating and I feel so fortunate to hold an unique love story together.


“It was so great working with you, you were very responsive and extremely helpful. Although I'm not even in the country I was not worried about the whole process at all. I would definitely use your services again in the future for any other gifts or projects.”

Vicky - Los Angeles

“I couldn't thank Uliana enough for making these gorgeous handwritten watercolour name cards for me that suited the theme of my wedding, many guests took them as a gift to remember our big day. The whole experience was amazing, she was so warm, attentive and extremely thoughtful. We were so touched.”

Rose - bride, London

“I love the piece you created for us and Vince does as well! It’s so beautiful - we adore it and can’t wait to hang it in our new home. You are truly incredible, Uliana and so very thoughtful and talented! Thank you!”

Kiran - Allen (Texas)
