There's something captivating about watching art come to life. The steady hand. The quiet precision. The transformation of a simple glass into a treasured keepsake, engraved with a name or message that matters.
As a Florida-based hand engraving artist,I specialize in creating these moments — where artistry becomes experience, and experience becomes memory. Using quiet, dust-free diamond-tip tools, I transform glass, metal, crystal, leather, and stone into one-of-a-kind pieces your guests will cherish forever.
From luxury Palm Beach weddings to Miami brand activations, live hand engraving adds theatre, sophistication, and personal connection that elevates every celebration.

I'm Carla Schall, a celebrity calligrapher and founder of Carla Schall Designs. For over 18 years, I’ve had the joy of bringing elegance and personalization to events through live calligraphy, hand engraving, embossing, and painting. From New York to Palm Beach, I’ve worked with luxury brands and clients to create unforgettable moments that truly stand out.
My journey with calligraphy began as a child, writing letters with my beloved Nana, who first introduced me to the world of art. That passion became my purpose, and today, I’m proud to share it through each personalized detail I create. Whether I’m working on a brand activation, wedding, or corporate event, my goal is always to leave guests feeling seen, inspired, and connected.
