I’m Thariha, a self-taught calligrapher and hand engraver serving clients throughout NYC, New Jersey, and anywhere your event takes place!

What started as a simple creative outlet in 2019 evolved into a career rooted in craftsmanship and personal connection.

After 6+ years as a Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist, I shifted into life as a new mom and full-time artist, creating thoughtful, timeless personalization for brands and private clients.

Need someone to jazz up your event? That's where I come in! Known for my modern and classy style, I love adding personal touches to everything from paper to glass and leather, making your event stand out.

Let's team up and make your event unforgettable!

LET’S TAKE YOUR EVENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Whether you’re planning a live activation to ‘wow’ your guests or simply want beautiful hand done stationary completed pre-event, I am available to do either (or both!). I work closely with luxury brands and corporate clients to provide a personalized experience for guests. Nothing excites guests more than watching their names being etched in glass or seeing heartfelt messages to their loved ones being done in beautiful writing.

We partnered with Riha for our Volumising Holiday event. Riha’s expertise and attention to detail engraving our boar bristle brushes were such an authentic touch to the experience. Each guest could not stop sharing how much they loved their personal brush from Riha and it really felt like they got it out of a Parisian haircare boutique!
