Bespoke

Your brand.
Made by hand.
Remembered forever.

Printed signage is everywhere. A calligrapher at your event - writing live, personalising gifts, bringing your brand to life on any surface - is a talking point. That's what I do.

WHAT I DO

One skill .
Endless applications.

From whisky bottles to welcome signs, product launches to corporate gifting - I work with brands who want something genuinely handmade in a world full of print. Here's where I can help.

What can I create?

I set up at your event and create live - personalising products, gifts or keepsakes in front of your customers. It draws a crowd, creates content, and gives people something they'll actually keep.
✦
Bottles, boxes, bags, packaging — I'll hand-letter your products for gifting events, launches, or VIP experiences. The kind of thing people photograph and post before they even get home.
✦
Your logo or design brought to life by hand - for menus, signage, window displays, or anything else that needs your brand's mark in a more considered, crafted form.
✦
Chalkboards, mirrors, windows, boards - hand-lettered signs for your venue, pop-up, launch event, or permanent space. Every surface different, every piece one of a kind.
✦
Book me in for a team day, away day, or client event. I run calligraphy and creativity workshops that are brilliant for mindfulness, team bonding, or just giving people something genuinely fun to do.
✦
Custom artwork, signage, or lettering created for your brand - on glass, acrylic, wood, paper, metal, or whatever surface you've got in mind. If you can tell me the surface, I'll tell you if I can work on it.

Work With Me

Less faff.
More craft.

HOW IT WORKS

Drop me an email or book a call. Share the brief - even if it's just a vague idea scribbled on a napkin. I'm good at turning "I want something a bit special but not sure what" into an actual plan.
I'll put a proposal together
Once I understand what you need, I'll send over a clear proposal - what I'll create, how long it'll take, and what it involves. No surprises, no endless back-and-forth.
Whether I'm coming to your event, working from my Glasgow studio, or both - I'll keep you in the loop throughout and deliver something you'll be genuinely chuffed with.
This is the bit I like best - I deliver either on-site or beforehand and your clients or guests are delighted!
Hopefully when people ask who made it, you tell them Toasty Type. Some of my favourite clients have come from referrals!

A few things worth knowing

I'm based in Glasgow's East End and work UK-wide for events, activations, and commissions. Travel is factored into quotes for out-of-Glasgow work - just ask and I'll let you know what's involved.

I work on a huge range of surfaces - acrylic, glass, wood, paper, slate, metal, fabric, leather, and more. If you've got something unusual in mind, just ask. I love a challenge.

Lead times vary by project. For live activations, the earlier you get in touch, the better - my diary fills up. For commissions, check my timescales page for current turnaround info.

Who I've worked with

In good company.

I've been lucky enough to work with some brilliant brands over the years. Here's a few you might recognise - and yes, I am absolutely delighted every time one of these lands in my inbox.
