Custom Personalization and Hand Lettering
I’m Lipika, and I turn everyday objects into keepsakes. From hot-foiled leather to hand-engraved gifts, here is a glimpse of how I make things truly yours.
A satisfying look at my hot foiling process. I use a special tool to press metallic foil into this Nappa Dori leather wallet, creating a permanent and elegant set of initials. This technique is perfect for adding a sophisticated touch to gifts.
This shows my paint pen calligraphy on the leather strap of an H&M tote bag. I use a steady hand to create beautiful, flowing script, turning a simple bag into a one-of-a-kind accessory. Each design is sealed to ensure it lasts.
I love a creative challenge, like these 350+ lemon-shaped luggage tags for a vibrant wedding carnival. This is an example of my live calligraphy service, where I personalize unique party favors for guests to take home as a memorable keepsake.
Personalization can be applied to almost anything, including your favorite makeup. Here, I'm carefully engraving the word 'Habibi' onto a Huda Beauty lipstick, transforming it into a cherished and personal item.
For corporate events, personalized gifts leave a lasting impression. I had the pleasure of using my live hot foiling technique to add custom initials to over 120 diaries for a LinkedIn Sales Connect event.
Even your tech accessories can be personalized. This video shows how I engrave a name onto an Apple AirPods case, making it a truly personal and unique gadget that won't get mixed up with others.
Beyond calligraphy, I also offer live illustration. For a MAC Cosmetics launch, I painted fun, colorful doodles like lipstick and hearts on these silver vanity pouches, creating a playful and completely custom gift for attendees.
Engraving on metal creates a sleek and permanent design. I personalized this black tumbler with a name in elegant script, making it a stylish and practical gift that stands out.
About Featured
Leather and accessories have distinct surfaces that respond differently to personalization. When I work on your items, I test the material first to decide between hot foiling for a sharp, debossed look on flat leather, or archival paint pens for curved and textured surfaces. This ensures your design stays clear, permanent, and ready for daily use.
My process is rooted in the idea that an object becomes a memory when it carries a name, a date, or a personal doodle. Whether I am working on a Nappa Dori wallet or a sleek black tumbler, the goal is always durability and style.
Techniques I Use
- Hot Foiling: I use a heated stylus to press metallic foil into the leather. This creates a permanent, debossed finish that looks elegant on wallets, diaries, and passport covers. It is a clean, minimalist choice for professional or personal items.
- Paint Pen Calligraphy: For items like canvas totes, luggage tags, or curved vanity pouches, I use high-quality archival paint markers. Because leather and fabrics flex, I seal every piece with a specialized fixative to prevent fading, chipping, or discoloration.
- Precision Engraving: I use an engraving tool to carve names or messages into metal, glass, and plastic. This is my go-to for items like tech gadgets, perfume bottles, and metal water bottles, giving them a sleek, permanent appearance that never wears off.
Why Live Personalization Matters
I bring this same energy to events, from corporate activations for brands like LinkedIn to wedding carnivals. Watching an item get personalized in real-time adds an interactive layer to the experience. Whether it is engraving lipstick tubes for a beauty launch or hot-foiling 120 diaries in one sitting, I focus on executing detail-oriented work while keeping the process smooth and engaging for your guests.
