Romantic modern calligraphy in black ink for Montblanc

  • "An absolute dream to work with."

    Carisse designed stunning table setting place cards for an elevated brand dinner, and they truly tied the entire tablescape together. Not only were they beautifully crafted, but she also turned them around incredibly quickly and was an absolute dream to work with! Could not recommend enough!

    - Kimberly, Foundation PR

  • "I couldn't recommend her more."

    I worked with Carisse for my wedding invitations and it cannot be overstated how OVER THE MOOON I was with both the product and the service from inception through completion. She worked with me on making everything feel really custom and aligned with me … She is a 10 out of 10!! I couldn’t recommend her more.

    - Ashley, Bride

  • "Her work is unique and stunning."

    I absolutely love working with Carisse. Her work is unique and stunning. I’m always looking for a way to incorporate calligraphy into anything I do, whether it’s holiday cards, table menus, etc. Looking forward to working with her again very soon.

    - Angela, New York

  • "One of the most beautiful gifts I have ever been given."

    I wanted to say THANK YOU for making one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever been given. I cried when he gave it to me. It's beautiful - so meaningful because he had an idea and you brought it to life.

    - Sara, Maine

  • "I'll be using you for every party."

    The place cards were a HIT ... people literally didn't believe me that I said you did it freehand ... Thank you again. The bad news is now you'll have to work more because I'll be using you for every party.

    - Stephanie, New York
