Carla Hagan Designs has been approached by several national brand clients regarding the availability of a network of calligraphers, engravers, painters and artists, available for referral across the country. In the interest of building this network beyond weddings and expanding brand activation opportunities for calligraphers, engravers, lettering artists, and artisans nationwide, the Creative Crew was developed.
I am excited to announce the publication of my first book, Modern Engraving; an Introduction to Engraving. This is the first book of its kind to teach calligraphy- based engraving, breaking the learning process down into simple, easy to follow steps. It is a comprehensive guide for the pointed pen calligrapher to take their skill to the next level and develop your very own modern engraving style.

I came across her hand engraving bottles of wine at an event and wrote! What a difference her personal touch adds. If you ever have a chance to work with her you will find how she makes everything around her sparkle. Such a light of joy in every room she enters

Carla is absolutely amazing and SO talented! We went to Carla to have our vows written with her calligraphy services and we were absolutely blown away. We have now framed our vows and every time we look at them we think of how beautifully she wrote each and every single word and the amount of time and thought put into the detail of the calligraphy! Not only is she talented, but her level of professionalism, her timeliness, and her communication is amazing. She is the best and we would recommend her again and again!

I can’t say enough great things about Carla. She is so talented and skilled, her work is breath taking. She’s creative and thinks outside the box when it comes to creating personalized gifts. She engraved agate coasters for me, beautiful wine bottles and a custom whiskey decanter and glass set with my hubby’s fire station logo on it. I’ve seen her design menu’s, place cards, mirrored quotes etc. Her engraving and calligraphy is so beautiful!

Carla is the best calligrapher ever! She has exceeded our expectations with every project she has made for our wedding. I’ve never received more complements on any work of art than we did for the save the date that she painted and designed. We can’t wait to see how the property map and welcome information she is designing for our welcome bags comes out. We love her so much!! Would recommend her to a million times over again!

Carla is AMAZING at what she does and her work is truly art. She is extremely friendly, professional, flexible, honest and loyal. You will never have to worry nor wonder because anything she touches / is involved with, turns to gold! Her time and talent are truly a treasure and a gift. If you have the honor to have her handle any items for you, consider yourself lucky!!! When we received our calligraphy, it was WAY BETTER than we ever envisioned. .a masterpiece, work of art and beyond special / personal experience, that is second-to-none. Cannot express how fabulous this service and lady are! Use

I would absolutely recommend coming to Carla for calligraphy. She is without a doubt the most skilled calligrapher in South Florida and I was blown away when I received my place cards and envelopes! She was willing to meet me halfway for my convenience for our initial consultation, and welcomed me into her home several times when I needed to make additions to my guest list. Her addition fees were reasonable and she was quick to get the job done as promised. I would definitely say the handwritten placecards were a highlight of the reception conversation!

I came to Carla for an anniversary gift for my wife. I found a poem that was read at our wedding and wanted it written out. She completely exceeded my expectations and created an elaborate yet personal work of art that we will always cherish. Carla was reliable and convenient. Five stars!
