About Featured
Writing on textures like rustic wood or delicate perfume packaging is quite different from standard paper. It requires specific nibs, fast-drying inks, and a steady hand, especially when people are watching. During my live stations, my focus is on that moment of connection. Each nameplate or note I write for your guests is crafted in real-time, making it a keepsake that feels far more personal than something mass-produced.
My journey has been a bit of a wild ride, and I love bringing that same energy to my work. My featured projects showcase the two sides of what I do: the high-energy, on-the-spot creativity of live event activations and the quiet precision of bulk studio orders.
When I set up a live station for brand activations like the Valentine's campaign for Maison Des Parfums, the goal is not just to write names. It is about the interaction. I love seeing the look on a guest's face when they see their name or a message appear on a perfume box in real-time. It turns a standard purchase into a memory.
For corporate projects, like my work with Bhima Jewelers or the wooden nameplates for Diageo Godawan, the approach changes. This requires technical precision. When you are writing on rough wood blocks or agate slices, you have to account for grain and texture. I do manual pencil drafting for every single piece before the final ink hits the surface to ensure spacing is perfect.
I am particularly obsessed with metallic inks and gold foil. You will see this shimmer across many of my featured pieces. It adds a layer of luxury to materials that might otherwise look plain. Whether I am writing in modern English, Devanagari, or just experimenting with new scripts, my priority is always the legibility and the emotion behind the words. If you have an upcoming event in Bengaluru or need a bulk project handled with a personal touch, let's chat about how we can make it happen.
