Chinese Calligraphy for Lunar New Year, AAPI Heritage Month & Asian Wedding Celebrations in the San Francisco Bay Area

Live Chinese calligraphy for Lunar New Year activations, AANHPI Heritage Month programming, and Asian wedding celebrations, or interactive art experiences for corporate, cultural, nonprofit events

As an Asian American calligrapher, my relationship with Chinese calligraphy is deeply personal. I grew up straddling two cultures — and found a sense of grounding through this art form passed down over centuries.

Today, I’m honored to offer Chinese calligraphy services that don’t just look beautiful — they mean something, and bring a dash of good luck and well wishes to ever recipient.

Whether my team and I are writing heartfelt messages on good luck charms, creating one-of-a-kind keepsake pieces for Lunar New Year, or bringing live artistry to AAPI Heritage Month celebrations and cultural brand activations, every stroke is an intentional bridge between past and present.

Our Offerings

We offer immersive Chinese calligraphy experiences for events and occasions that call for intentional, culturally-rooted artistry across the San Francisco Bay Area and are available to travel.

We look forward to working with you not only during the Lunar New Year but are available throughout the year for special events and workshops.

Chinese Calligraphy Workshops

Ideal for corporate team-building, schools, or community events. Learn the history, meaning, and techniques of traditional Chinese calligraphy in a hands-on experience taught by our bilingual English and Mandarin-speaking master instructor.

Custom Art & Keepsakes

From couplets and scrolls for Lunar New Year to a custom hand-painted traditional Chinese brush painting, we create one-of-a-kind pieces for personal and business milestones, family heirlooms, or corporate gifting— all year-round.

Our Team

At the heart of our Chinese calligraphy services is a story of family, language, and legacy. This isn’t just a business — it’s a shared craft passed down across generations, and brought to life by a family deeply connected to the culture behind the brush.

My dad, Byron, leads our Chinese calligraphy services, and I join him for high-volume or specialty events. With decades of experience and a lifelong connection to the artform, his brushwork reflects both mastery and meaning. Together, we blend traditional technique with modern, design-forward sensibilities — honoring heritage while adapting for today’s event landscape.

We are supported by a small but mighty events team, including my brother and Jasmine, a fellow Mandarin-speaking assistant. Whether welcoming guests, managing logistics, or translating on-site, they help create a seamless and culturally thoughtful experience from start to finish.
