“The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.”
— Charles R. Swindoll
Hi there, so excited to have you here!
Hi, I’m Valentina, an Orlando-based calligrapher and engraver specializing in luxury handwritten pieces, custom invitations, and signage for weddings, brand activations, and special events in Miami, Tampa, West Palm Beach, and nationwide. I've had the honor of collaborating with luxury event planners and agencies, as well as prestigious brands like Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Prada, Tag Heuer, Moët, SpaceX, and Neiman Marcus, just to name a few!
I describe calligraphy as elegant, enchanting, and deeply personal. It’s an experience that allows me to capture my clients' essence and translate it into timeless words, creating meaningful connections with loved ones in a non-traditional way. I take pride in my meticulous attention to detail and professionalism and my goal is to provide an unforgettable experience and deliver products my clients will cherish for years to come.
Best. Decision. Of. My. Life.
I founded A Handful Of Letters in 2019, driven by my deep love for letters and a passion for creating. I never considered myself a naturally creative person, nor did I imagine that my newly discovered skill would ever take center stage. But after months of practice and learning from renowned calligraphers around the world, I realized I had to share my appreciation for this beautiful art form.
What started as a simple hobby has blossomed into a full-time business. Today, I have the privilege of offering calligraphy and engraving services to couples and businesses who appreciate the personal, luxurious touch of handcrafted pieces.
When I’m not creating calligraphy or engraving for brands, you’ll find me chasing pink sunsets, admiring flowers, traveling, hiding behind a camera, doodling on anything I can find, or cuddling with my cats!
Fun facts about the girl behind the pen:
I hate coffee. There, I said it! Hope that’s not a dealbreaker, lol.
I’m Colombian and fluent in Spanish, English and German.
I majored in Political Science and growing up, I always wanted to be a judge — I know, nowhere near as fun as the pretty letters.
Although I currently live in Florida and nothing beats a floridian sunset, I can't. stand. the. heat., so if you were to offer me a weighted blanket, an unlimited supply of chewy brownies and peppermint tea, I’d move to Alaska in a heartbeat!
I’m a proud member of International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH) as well as the Scribes of Central Florida, Friends of Calligraphy and Society of Scribes Guilds.
I’d Love to Help Bring Your Dream Event to Life!
If you have a creative vision you've been eager to bring to life or want to take your event to the next level, I’d be thrilled to be part of it. Let’s connect and make it happen!
XO, Vale
