I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie from Knockout Lettering for my October 2024 wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life. She took my ideas and turned them into something stunning and unique, all while keeping the vibe fun and personal—nothing too stuffy or formal, just perfectly ‘me.’

Hand-crafted, never generic
No templates, no shortcuts, no frills.

​Shaped by your style

Your vision, refined into work that feels expressive, cohesive, and intentional.

Meticulous with the details
Spacing, sizing, strokes — nothing is accidental.

Calm, organized, and actually enjoyable
Clear communication, thoughtful process, zero overwhelm.

Let's create something unforgettable.

I’ve been turning letters into art for nearly a decade, and nothing excites me more than clients who want to leave a mark — literally. From show-stopping wedding signage to hand-engraved favors and live lettering activations, I make sure all the details land just right. Your celebration will look effortless but hit like a knockout.

Every piece I create is hand-crafted with care and precision. Whether it's a bold statement or a tiny detail, I deliver moments that you and your guests will gush over long after the day is over. I’ll guide you through lettering styles, color choices, and materials so your event feels seamless, personal, and totally yours. Working with me means zero stress, full collaboration, and (dare I say) some fun along the way. ​​​​
