Studio Personalization Services

Custom Calligraphy & Engraving

Transform your favourite items into timeless keepsakes. I engrave and letter directly onto
glass, metal, acrylic, stone or leather -perfect for perfume bottles, candles, champagne bottles or luxury accessories. Each engraving is permanent, scratch-resistant and designed to complement the piece’s form and texture.

Bottle & Product Painting

Add colour and charm with custom-painted designs. From florals to initials or motifs, hand-painted artwork turns a simple item into a beautiful, display-worthy keepsake. Each piece is sealed for durability and long-term use.

Hot Foil Personalization

For leather goods such as notebooks, wallets or luggage tags, metallic foiling offers a sleek, elegant finish. Choose from gold, silver, or classic blind embossing.

Perfect for Corporate & Brand Clients

Studio commissions are also an excellent option for corporate clients or brands looking to add a touch of personalization without hosting a live artist on-site.

Products can be sent to my studio ahead of your event or campaign to be engraved, painted or personalized in advance. These pieces make beautiful custom gifts or pre-personalized event giveaways, offering the same luxury feel and attention to detail.

This option is ideal for tighter budgets or events where live personalization isn’t feasible, providing a lower rate while maintaining the same elevated experience for your recipients.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of items can be personalized?

Some of the most common studio commission projects include:

  • Fragrance and perfume bottles
  • Wine, champagne, and spirits bottles
  • Compact mirrors and beauty accessories
  • Lipsticks and cosmetics
  • Leather goods and luggage tags
  • Glassware and drinkware
  • Gift boxes and keepsakes
  • Corporate gifting items

If you're unsure whether your item is suitable for personalization, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to advise.

  • Do you personalize items I already own?

Yes! Most studio commissions involve personalizing items supplied by the client. If you're unsure whether your item is suitable for engraving, painting, or calligraphy, feel free to contact me before purchasing or shipping your item.

  • I haven't purchased my items yet. Can you help?

Absolutely. I'm happy to review potential items before purchase and can often recommend products and surfaces that are well suited for engraving, painting, or heat foiling.

  • Do you accept single-item commissions?

Yes! Whether you're looking to personalize a single keepsake or a larger corporate gifting order, I'd be happy to review your project and provide a custom quote.

  • How do I get my items to you?

Items may be dropped off and picked up from my home studio located in Vaughan, Ontario by appointment.

  • Do you offer shipping?

Yes. Shipping options are available throughout Canada. Return shipping & admin fees apply and are quoted based on destination and package size.

  • Do you offer rush orders?

Rush service may be available depending on the project scope and timeline. Additional fees apply.

  • Can you personalize multiple items?

Absolutely. Whether you're looking to personalize a single gift or a larger order for a bridal party, corporate gifting initiative, or special event, volume discounts may be available for qualifying projects.

  • Can you engrave logos, illustrations, or custom artwork?

In many cases, yes. For the most consistent and cost-effective results, logos and artwork are often best suited for machine laser engraving.

Hand engraving logos and custom artwork may also be possible depending on the design, surface, and level of detail involved. Because hand engraving is significantly more time-intensive, pricing is quoted individually based on complexity and project requirements.

If you're considering a logo or custom design, feel free to send artwork files or reference images for review.

  • How long does a studio commission take?

Standard turnaround is typically 5–10 business days after project approval and receipt of items. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time.

  • Do you offer live event personalization?

Yes! If you're looking for on-site personalization for a wedding, corporate event, luxury brand activation, or private event, please visit the Live Events page or contact me directly for a custom quote.
