I’m a professional live event engraver specializing in on-site personalization for brand activations, retail events, and private gatherings. My business started from a love of calligraphy and meaningful details, and it’s grown into a way to help people feel seen, celebrated, and connected through custom engraved keepsakes. What began with wedding signage and hand-lettered gifts eventually led me to live event engraving where I get to mix creativity and connection in the most meaningful way. I’ve partnered with brands like Belk, Total Wine, Maker’s Mark, Jo Malone, and Nordstrom to create elevated guest experiences, engraving everything from glassware to fragrance bottles. I believe that personalization transforms a simple item into something memorable. It’s one thing to receive something personalized, but it’s another to watch it being created just for you. That moment sticks with people.

Did you know that every person has a totally unique lip print, just like a finger print?
Our mystic New Orleans makeup diviners give "lip service" a whole new meaning, with lipstick readings.
Each guest applies their preferred lipstick (colors can include Mardi Gras, glow in the dark, glitter, classic shades and neutrals) and kiss a cotton card for their Lipstick Reader to interpret. What they discover can be profound, delightful, and highly accurate to each guest.
For an extra whimsical flair, your Lipstick Reader can even write a poem about what they see in each guest's lip print. The Kiss Card the guest receives can also be branded or have your information on the back to tie the keepsake in with your group, company, or organization.
This is a lighthearted 2-3 minute experience that works day or night, rain or shine, and is fun even for folks who don't normally wear lipstick ;)

Kiss and Tell... and then some! Learn what your lips say without any words at all

Guests will have the opportunity to see the full process of an original wine painting come together. They will be able to choose from a selection of 3 paintings and which
wines they’d like to be featured, and I will paint them their own special custom painting. Paintings are created within a few minutes to ensure everyone who would
like a painting can receive one. Guests can choose to watch their painting come together, or they can make their selections and return later in the evening to pick up
their custom painting.

Live Wine Painting – Custom Takeawys

I will create paintings using real wine as my medium while guests enjoy the event, with a selection of wine varietals at the client’s request and pieces painted with corks as my paintbrush. Particular focus can be placed on wines highlighted at the event, and any additional specific wines that are important to the event, with a minimum of eight wine varieties highlighted.

Optional: Guests will experience a combination of my personal live painting, as well as an opportunity to try painting a bit for themselves. Prior to the event, I will have painted a large canvas of ink drawings so they can easily spend a few minutes painting. We can tailor this painting to the event theme or location.

Live Wine Painting – Solo Painting w/ Community Participation

Guests take a seat at an evolving wine painting station to work on a small painting. I’ll provide 2-3 options to select from so they can choose their own adventure:
short and sweet (5-10 minutes) or sit and stay for a little while (15-30 minutes). It is structured so that no matter what, anyone who comes to paint can walk away with
at least one small wine painting to take home.

I’ll provide the guidance, inspiration and curated hand-made supplies for guests to experience the uniqueness of painting with wine for themselves. This engaging + fun mini workshop will provide a captivating few minutes of creativity and connection where they will come away with a wine painting that they’ll actually want to enjoy in their home or office.
