Luxury personalisation services
Add a memorable touch to your events with
calligraphy, hand engraving & hot foiling personalisation
Available for live event activations and in-studio commissions
I offer a range of calligraphy services for luxury brands, PR agencies &
event agencies to help bring your events to life and create memorable retail experiences for your customers.
With years of calligraphy experience, I specialise in a variety of calligraphy
styles from traditional and classic, to more modern ones to suit your brand and event style.
Calligraphy
Using traditional calligraphy tools and techniques, I create calligraphy that enhances the personalisation of luxury gifts. With six years of professional experience as a calligrapher, I ensure each piece feels unique, offering a truly bespoke experience for your event. You may choose from a range of signature calligraphy styles, from Traditional Calligraphy — including classic Copperplate, Italic, and Spencerian — to Modern Calligraphy. A custom, branded style can also be developed for a distinctive touch.
I am able to write on a wide variety of surfaces and provide all necessary tools, with a selection of ink colours available upon request.
Calligraphy services are available for both in-studio projects (envelopes, guest names on printed invitations, fully hand-lettered invitations, place cards, and menus) and at on-site events (notecards, packaging etc.).

Engraving
As a professional calligraphy engraver with over five years of experience, I hand-engrave (etch) glass, metal, marble, wood, and plastic items at on-site events using a small, quiet, portable drill. This permanent engraving offers a beautiful way to commemorate a special date or elevate a personalised gift.
On smooth glass, colour can be added to create contrast within the engraved area. To reflect your brand identity, we can incorporate a variety of calligraphy styles, block lettering, floral illustrations, or small motifs into a bespoke design.
Engraving services are available for both in-studio projects and on-site events in London and across the UK.

Hot Foiling
Heat foiling, also known as hot foiling is a unique way to combine artistic calligraphy with metallic shine to beautifully personalise leather or vegan leather items at your live on-site event.
Using a small, portable heat tool, the foil transfer is permanent. Guests will delight in the “foil reveal” as the foil is gently lifted to unveil the lettering beneath.
No power supply is required, as all tools are battery operated. A sample of your item will be requested beforehand to test heat and foil adherence.
This technique is popular for both retail, private and corporate events.
IDEAS FOR HEAT FOILING EVENTS ON LEATHER OR VEGAN LEATHER:
Luggage tags, gift tags
Hardcover notebooks, journals, planners
Passport covers, cardholders, wallet, key chains
Cosmetic bags, skincare cosmetic cases
Eye glass cases

Working with Uliana was a dream, she was very professional, flexible and accommodating. The hot foil gold embossing was beautiful as all the guests pointed out. We would definitely recommend her and intend to use her services again at future events.”
