Live event artist based in New Jersey, available across the United States
Artisan Calligraphy, Engraving & Foiling for Brands, Corporate Events & Weddings
As a live event artist, I bring a sophisticated, interactive touch to corporate events, brand activations, and exclusive retail experiences creating live, on-site calligraphy and personalization that turns everyday items into lasting keepsakes.
From a single custom calligraphy gift to a fully art-directed calligraphy art installation for a national brand launch, I bring luxury calligraphy to every occasion.
"I have worked with Barbara since 2014 with not a single negative thing to say about her or her work. She's organized, efficient, sets realistic timelines for deliverables and her work is impeccable. I have always enjoyed collaborating with her on simple bar signage to more complicated motifs/logos and even on-site calligraphy work. 5 stars and then some!!"

A timeless way to customize leather and similar surfaces with gold, silver, or metallic foil, applied live using a heated pen.
Hot Foiling
Elegant lettering & creative calligraphy brought to keepsakes, gifts, brand items and more — the artistry at the heart of everything I create.
Hand Calligraphy
"I can't speak highly enough of Barbara! Her talent is exceptional — every item my team requests is done perfectly. While there are some projects we bring Barbara on board before the envelopes print, there are others we request in a pinch and she always delivers. Barbara's organization, consistency, friendliness, and attentiveness make her a dream to work with."
