Modern + Elegant

I like a combination of sophisticated and elegant with a modern take.

Modern Angular Calligraphy

Shiny gold calligraphy with a modern feel for these placecards.

Kindness is the Key

Modern gold calligraphy for these sweet little tags.

Modern Script

These flowers! The most amazing florals by Joey at Hill and Oak. This was for a dear friend's 60th birthday brunch. Lovely setting and fantastic food at Gracias Madre.

Modern Addressing on Chocolate

Loved addressing with white on this deep chocolate brown envelope.
There's freedom in doing calligraphy that is stylized and modern!

Modern Placecards

These placecards were for a small, intimate wedding. Always fun to do a casual, contemporary style of lettering.

Addressing

Just a peek at some of my addressing style options. Please take a look at the envelope sample page. You can even show me what you love and I can do my Lisa version of that style!

Placecard Tags

Current trend I'm noticing is tags for placecards. Kraft is definitely the most popular. I think it's a pretty sweet idea and they can be tied to a multitude of party favors. 
 

Modern Script

Having a little fun with pointed pen variation!

Valentine's Day Sign

I hand lettered this for Joey at Hill and Oak Florals. I then scanned it, did the layout on the computer and emailed it to him to print the signs. His arrangements are beautiful!

Wedding Table Names

Table names done in sophisticated modern script for a New Year's Eve Wedding.

60th Anniversary Signage

Calligraphy on black linen for a sophisticated, western themed 60th wedding anniversary.

Modern Placecards

I hand lettered these oversized black cards in gold ink. The style is a more modern take on pointed pen calligraphy. The cards should look nice tucked into napkins at each guest's place setting.

Wedding Vows

Wedding vows done the nicest couple. This is the top portion of the piece.

Smooth Brush

A dear friend is moving from L.A. to South Carolina. This is the envelope I created for her card. Using a pentel cartridge brush and rubber stamp for the image behind her name.

New Business Card!

Just got my new cards that I designed and had printed by Sugar Paper. Doing something simple works really well with letterpress printing because the texture it creates adds an interesting element.

Wedding Signage & Monogram

I was hired by Samantha Scott Events to create this playful monogram for a bride and groom's wedding. I've included the black & white original since it's a little tough to see the foil stamping in the photo of the napkin.

Below are a couple of the chalkboard signs I made as well as the program cover. I've included the black and white lettering for the program cover as well since it's easier to see.
