Stationery
Bowtie & Brush
Most of the art I make is made with my own two hands, usually with a brush pen or a paintbrush. My couples and their guests get to witness that when they take a closer look at my signs and realize it's not vinyl or printed. There are imperfections. You can see the brush strokes and unevenness in the texture. What you see is the work of someone who loves creating truly one-of-a-kind, intimate details that are unique to YOUR love story. No one else in the world will have that piece of art. So if you're a person who finds beauty in imperfections, we'll get along just fine. I am not a font. I am not a printer. I am a modern calligrapher and watercolor artist who has worked countless hours to develop my own style—and I just want to create more art in this world for all the lovely people who resonate with that.

Cat Lauren Calligraphy
I'm not your average calligrapher – I'm the expert who gets your guests talking (and posting). From intimate weddings to large-scale brand activations, I transform ordinary items into Instagram-worthy keepsakes through live calligraphy, hand engraving, and hot foiling. What sets me apart? Speed without sacrificing style. While your guests watch, I craft custom pieces in minutes that most would take hours to create. My signature techniques span pointed-pen calligraphy, hand engraving, freehand hot foiling, debossing, wood-burning and more – meaning no surface is too challenging and no design request is too unique. Based in Los Angeles, available worldwide. Whether you're planning a product launch in LA or a destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast, I'll bring the expertise to you.

It’s Giving Bridal
You may not believe this, but I thought I was going to hate wedding dress shopping. I didn’t think I would enjoy the pressure, the attention, or the outdated wedding dress styles that I had seen so many people wear. Boy, was I wrong. After trying on dresses for the first time, I realized how much innovation, fun, and joy could be found in this chapter. I started sharing my experience and focused on educating myself more about the industry. Slowly, I grew my following and started receiving requests from people to syle their weddings and photoshoots. Now, bridal is my personality. I work with brides to style their wedding wardrobes and I work with brands to style their campaign and editorial shoots.
