Engraving

Live engraving offers an elevated, premium guest experience that aligns seamlessly with luxury retail and brand activations. I engrave fragrance bottles, beauty packaging, candles, spirits, gifts, and metal accessories directly on-site, creating personalized keepsakes that enhance brand connection and drive in-store engagement. Perfect for VIP shopping events, new product launches, influencer activations, and high-touch client experiences.

Bottle & Box Painting

Live bottle and box painting transforms your product into a one-of-a-kind art piece. Hand-painted florals, illustrations, and signature motifs elevate fragrance bottles, luxury boxes, ornaments, and beauty packaging in real time, offering guests a customized artistic experience that stands out in retail settings and social campaigns. Ideal for product launches, holiday activations, boutique events, and collector experiences.

Leather Personalization

Live leather personalization adds a premium, artisanal touch to luxury events and retail activations. Using leather burning, metallic foiling, or hand-painting techniques, I customize keychains, luggage tags, pouches, bookmarks, and leather gift-with-purchase items on-site. This experience increases dwell time, enhances perceived product value, and creates memorable take-home pieces for VIP customers.

Live calligraphy on nearly any surface delivers a refined, high-end experience perfect for luxury retail and brand storytelling. Whether writing on fragrance boxes, acrylic displays, PR mailers, ornaments, leather goods, or specialty materials, I personalize each item in real time with modern calligraphy or paint-pen lettering. This activation elevates product launches, in-store events, and influencer engagements with a sophisticated, branded touch.
