About Live Calligraphy & Brand Activations
What I Do
For me, calligraphy is all about making moments feel special. I love bringing a bit of umeed (hope) and a personal vibe to busy events. When I set up my live station, it’s not just about art - it’s about sparking real connections between people and brands.
How It Works
- I join brand activations, corporate gifting, and in-store events to add that handcrafted touch.
- You’ll see me scribing names, quotes, or messages right in front of your guests - cards, tags, or even your products.
- It’s interactive and people really get into watching the process, chatting with me, and walking away with something totally unique.
Why Brands Choose This
- On-site calligraphy personalization means every guest leaves with a hand-lettered keepsake.
- Past projects: romantic notes for Maison Des Parfums, Diwali letters for Bhima Jewelers, and custom branded merchandise like rustic wooden name plates for Diageo’s Godawan.
- I’ve worked on everything from paper to wood, and yeah, I’m obsessed with gold foil and shimmery inks for that luxe touch.
My Style & Approach
I mix classic and modern tools to suit your vibe - brush pens, pointed pens, you name it. Whether it’s a product launch or a festive campaign, I’m always up for brainstorming new ways to make your event stand out.

My Story
Hey, I'm Sarika. Five years ago, I could barely hold a brush pen straight – didn’t even know Copperplate was a thing! Been a wild ride since then. Art’s everywhere for me, even on travels. Assam’s jungles made me slow down, journal, listen to birds. Lost my art spark for two years after, but Bangalore’s Cubbon Park reading gang brought it back. Now, weekends mean art, sun, and family. Art’s kinda stitched into my bones.
My Work

Live Event & Brand Calligraphy - I do live event calligraphy for brands, scribing messages on the spot, custom name plates, gift tags, all that.
Special Details & Magic Touches - Big fan of metallic inks, watercolor washes, vellum, wax seals – little things make it pop.
