Valeria Danilova

Toronto-Based Lettering & Engraving Artist

Live personalization and in-studio laser branding — calligraphy, hand engraving, and hot foiling for events, brands, and bespoke commissions.

Plan Your Event

One Gift. Two Signatures.

Yours in studio. Theirs at the event.

Every piece can be branded in my studio before your event, then personalized by hand in front of your guest. The item was already useful. Now it has a reason to be kept.

Pre-Branded in Studio. Personalized Live on Site.

For brand activations, corporate gifting, restaurant openings, weddings, and private celebrations, I design the branding and the guest experience around your product — one studio partner from production through the event itself. Still choosing items? I'll advise on surfaces that personalize beautifully and photograph well.
