Custom Calligraphy
Ink, engraving, live events +

Blending modern and classic style to adapt to your vision

Wedding and Special events

From signage, to envelopes addressing and custom invitations, custom calligraphy adds a touch of luxury to any event.

I will gladly coordinate with your event planner and stationery designer to bring your vision to life.

Calligraphy engraving + Pyrography

Personalize items with something special. Drinkware, bottles, beauty products, charcuterie board: all can be tailored to your loved one with hand engraving or wood burning.

Home portraits

Watercolour and ink come together to help you bring home wherever you go next.

This is the perfect gift for someone saying goodbye to their happy place.

Custom Artwork

Everyone has that special quote or saying that moves them.

Make it even more special by having it written in beautiful modern calligraphy.

Family Tree

Family trees are an amazing piece to display in your home, or gift to a family member.

I've put a fresh spin on it by designing a tree slice version. Watercolours are integrated with modern calligraphy to create your one-of-a-kind family tree.

Live events

Looking to wow and entertain your guests? Having a live calligraphy or engraving artist on site will do just that.

Your guests also get to leave with an item that was personalized for them, in front of them.

Your experience can be just like theirs

"Mélissa helped deliver the most perfect gift to celebrate my wife's birthday."

She approached the project with such empathy, care, and creativity - it truly was something special to see the idea come to live and to see how words can be shaped to capture the emotion and spirit of the message.

"I worked with Melissa to put together place cards for my wedding, and they turned out AMAZING."

Collaborating with her was so easy - she asked me some questions about myself and our day, and the mock ups she came back with were SPOT ON. I'm so so happy with the end result and highly recommend working with her.

First things first, please fill out the contact form below - with as much information about your project as can - and I will be in touch shortly.

FAQs - Calligrahy Projects

You will receive an email back from me within 2 business days (but between you and I, it will most likely be quicker!). 

Keep an eye out for an email from Melissa(at)houseofdanaus.com and remember to verify your junk mail.

The cost of your project will be determined by the size, complexity, materials required and shipping costs.

After you send me your project information, I will prepare a detailed quote for you. No surprises!

Due to the custom nature of my work, I do not offer returns or refunds on calligraphy projects. You also get to review and approve the project throughout the design process.

However, if a mistake has been made on my part (a typo for example) or you receive your project damaged, I will do everything in my power to get that fixed at no cost to you.

That’s a quick answer: I ship to you!

I will verify the costs of shipping to you, wherever you are, and the quote you receive will reflect that.

Obviously, many factors affect the project timeline. Make sure to let me know the deadline for your project and I will confirm if I can meet your date.

Additional fees may apply for rushed jobs.
