Hi, Suki here ˙ᵕ˙

Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to show you a little bit about me and how I bring personal touches to life through calligraphy, engraving, live event artistry and more. I’m based in Detroit, Michigan but always happy to travel!

Where it all started

When I won “Best Cursive” in second grade, that’s when I knew this was the path for me (I’m kidding).

What really started as a love for hand lettering grew into more than I ever imagined. I’m self-taught and officially launched Signed by Suki in 2019.

A day in the life

From live events to in-studio commissions to teaching workshops, no two days are the same. Whether I’m engraving bottles on-site, painting a leather jacket in my studio, or leading a calligraphy class, the process is hands-on, personal, and always unfolding in real time.

A little about me

🐶 I have a pittie-husky mix named Udon (like the noodle).

🎓 I’ve taught over 2,000 students beginner calligraphy since 2021.

🖋️ I’ve trained with 3 Master Penmen, including 2 former White
House Chief Calligraphers.

✨ I’ve engraved everything from perfume bottles and mirrors to trophies and even a casket.

🏈 I’ve worked with 33+ brands and even engraved live during the NFL Draft in Detroit.

🔥 During my busiest month I worked 20+ live events

    I had the honor of live-engraving the winner’s name for the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament—broadcast live on CBS. Moments like these are one in a million, and I’m so grateful to have been trusted with it.

    I joined Local 4 to talk about my story, what I love about teaching, and how anyone can learn with the right tools and a little patience. I also did a quick on-air demo to give a feel for the kind of hands-on work we do in my classes.
