THE STORY BEHIND POP CALLIGRAPHY
Pop Calligraphy is a Melbourne-based studio offering calligraphy personalisation services.
Â
As many calligraphers do, I started my humble journey doing calligraphy for weddings and other special occasions, the sorts of occasions where the sound 'pop' might be heard. Think champagne, balloons, party poppers, and even questions (being popped!).
Â
Over time, however, weddings made up less and less of my client work, and instead, the 'pop' in Pop Calligraphy has evolved to represent the pop of colour that I love injecting into my work. I am so obsessed with colour that I even dabbled in painting to satisfy that craving for a time!
MEET VIV,
THE ARTIST
Â
I am an accomplished calligrapher with more than eight years of experience creating unique and beautiful keepsakes from my studio in Melbourne, Australia. My passion and signature pop of colour have created lasting impressions at on-site brand activations, and found their way into many homes over the years.
​
I have been taught by master penman and world-renowned calligraphers, and continue to be trusted by leading creative agencies to perform calligraphy and engraving services for international luxury brands.
Â
I am dedicated to helping you host unforgettable events, create timeless keepsakes, and embark on your mindfulness journey.

CALLIGRAPHY. BUT MAKE IT COLOURFUL!
IÂ have years of experience appearing in-store at luxury brand activation events, as well as working behind the scenes to bring your event stationery dreams to life.
Although simple and elegant blacks, whites and neutrals are always a staple on my desk, I always welcome the opportunity to add that pop of colour to events, as you can tell by browsing my portfolio below!

"Viv's amazing talent brought a special touch to our wedding reception. We had personalised name cards designed with nicknames for all our guests. Detail to attention was appreciated including sending pictures of different colour palettes to make sure it was the right shade and style to match our theme and wedding invitations. We trusted her to deliver on time and with care and the entire process was stress free. We couldn't have asked for more."
Julie M.
"My husband and I absolutely loved our custom calligraphy wedding vows as our first year anniversary gift! Viv was incredibly easy to deal with and it was obvious that she put a lot of care and detail into her work! Thanks again Viv, I'll be sure to visit your shop anytime I need custom calligraphy!"
Tricia D.
 "It was so great to work with Viv for our wedding invitations! We were looking for something personalised to add to our envelopes and couldn't find anything better than Viv's calligraphy. I met with her and gave her ideas of what we were after and she went above and beyond what I was expecting. It definitely gave our guests that 'wow' factor being the first thing they saw when they received our invitations. I had to rush our orders and Viv delivered within a week without compromising the quality of her work. Thank you Viv, we absolutely adore our envelopes!"
ENGRAVING
IÂ have been trusted to engrave on thousands of products over the years, from wine and whiskey bottles and glasses, to fragrances and lipsticks, both in-studio and on-site.
Engraving personalisation transforms the gift-giving experience for both the giver and receiver and provides that unexpected and subtle connection to a brand, especially when performed in-store.
