Studio Commissions
Bespoke calligraphy and hand-lettering for design, film, hospitality, and brand. One-of-a-kind pieces, custom logos, and commissioned art — created by hand for clients who want something that exists nowhere else.
Lettering as a Bespoke Object
Some words deserve more than a font. A custom logo, a film title, a one-of-a-kind piece for an interior, a hand-lettered scroll for a brand campaign — these are objects that exist in the world only once, made for a single context, by a single hand.
I work with design firms, art directors, brand teams, and creative collaborators on commissioned hand-lettering and calligraphy. Each project begins with a conversation about what the work needs to do — anchor a space, carry a brand, hold a moment — and ends with a piece that does it.
Featured Work
Hand-Lettered Sheet Music for Studio McGee
Studio McGee invited me to collaborate on a music room they were designing for a private client — a space built around fifteen handwritten music sheets, each one a song tied to a meaningful memory in the client's life. I hand-lettered every composition on archival paper, designed to be framed and installed together as the visual anchor of the room. The result is a wall of music written not to be played, but to hold a life in fifteen songs.
