A special day for dad gifts

On Saturday, the weekend of Father’s Day. Macy’s delighted customers with complimentary calligraphy engraving on their men’s fragrance purchases. This engaging activation significantly boosted the brand’s appeal, prompting clients to make their purchases on the spot to take advantage of this unique offering. Shoppers could choose any brand of fragrance and have it personalized with a name or phrase of their choice, adding a special touch to their purchase and enhancing their overall shopping experience and any gifts for dad.
A Very Sysco Christmas Party
July 13, 2024
What an amazing way to express gratitude to your customers! Sysco Foods invited me to their holiday party at Sloane & Williams Winery in Grapevine, where I had the pleasure of creating bespoke items for their cherished clients. The event showcased my pyrography skills, as I elegantly gold-foiled leather chef’s knife rolls and meticulously wood-burned cutting and cheese boards.
Guests were delighted to see their business names materialize in the wood, marveling at how swiftly these personalized treasures were crafted for them to take home. They were captivated by the sight of the hot tool gracefully etching elegant calligraphy across the surface.
The Strouderosa Senior BBQ
June 25, 2024
We had such a fun time celebrating the graduating seniors at Strouderosa BBQ. One of the many benefits of having a live artist at a smaller event is that a variety of personalization options can be offered to the intimate group.
I offered engraving on tumblers and woodburning on hats and boots. The girls were encouraged to bring hats, boots, and Stanley tumblers but Event Planner Alexa Larberg Party Co. also brought leather coin purses the girls could have their names gold foiled onto. You should have seen how excited the girls all were to see their monograms come to life on a special item.

The atmosphere buzzes with excitement, ensuring an exciting experience for all who attend.
The engraving service has become a hallmark of Eataly’s gatherings, drawing customers into a world of elegance and charm.

At the dazzling launch of Kayali Fragrances’ latest sensation, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, the air was sweet with anticipation. Chapman Calligraphy and I Do Illustration added a touch of artistry to the vibrant Sweet Tooth Hotel setting, where guests indulged in a unique scent lab experience.
The highlight? A meet-and-greet with the visionary Mona Kattan, and a special takeaway—a bottle of the new fragrance, custom-engraved on the spot. Together, June and I brought a personal touch to over 90 bottles, creating lasting memories for the influencers in attendance.
Talk Derby to me party
May 4, 2024
I had the pleasure of attending an exquisite event, “Talk Derby to Me,” a collaboration between Diageo and Crown Royal, alongside the renowned “Corks in Cowtown.” The venue for this splendid gathering was none other than the Rusty Nickel Ice House located in the heart of Ft. Worth. The atmosphere was electric, filled with the buzz of conversation as guests mingled, savoring the delectable array of foods and the masterfully crafted cocktails that were on offer.
As the evening unfolded, the air was filled with a sense of luxury and exclusivity, thanks in part to the fabulous party favors that were distributed. A special touch was the presence of @mdinh_art, who captivated everyone with live illustrations, adding a personal and artistic flair to the event. In a delightful partnership, June and I came together to provide guests with custom engraved mint julep cups—a nod to the event’s Derby theme. The intricate engravings included the iconic Crown Royal logo by the talented June, while I added a personal flourish with beautifully engraved initials. It was an event that truly celebrated the spirit of the Derby, leaving an indelible mark on all who attended.
Good for country party
April 24, 2024
I recently received an invitation to add a personal touch to exclusive merchandise for UBank’s inaugural “Good For Country” Weekend. The festivities commenced with a day brimming with entertainment at Eagle’s Bluff Country Club, dedicated to esteemed partners, collaborators, and friends. Attendees reveled in an elegant garden soiree, savoring exquisite cuisine, engaging in golf, and sampling fine wines, all amidst the splendid weather gracing the club’s patio and lawn.
My role for the day? To infuse a personal flair into an array of items for our guests. They delighted in selecting from bespoke hats adorned with their name or initials in shimmering gold foil, tumblers etched with handcrafted personalization, or journals embellished with golden accents. Come Saturday, the bank rolled out the red carpet for a concert featuring Dylan Scott and the Oak Ridge Boys, turning melodies into support for the East Texas Food Bank.
Bowie House Designer Showcase
February 23, 2024
BOKA Powell’s Design Studio 8080 marked a significant milestone with the grand opening of the Bowie Hotel in Ft. Worth. The event was a splendid affair, highlighting the studio’s sophisticated and stylish design of the city’s latest upscale hotel. Attendees were invited to explore the hotel’s amenities through an exclusive tour, adding a touch of celebration to the evening.
The highlight of the night was the personalization of sumptuous leather journals, courtesy of Carroll Leather. These journals, known for their soft, high-quality leather, were transformed into unique keepsakes with the addition of gold or silver foil personalization I was on hand to provide. What a hit!
