Hi, I’m Allison.
I’m the calligrapher, engraver and artist behind The Poppy Pen. Based in the New York City and Connecticut area, I specialize in creating refined, personal experiences through calligraphy, hand engraving, painting and custom artwork.
I work with luxury brands, corporations, creative agencies and event professionals to create personalization that feels thoughtful and tailored to the product and occasion. Whether I’m engraving fragrance bottles for a launch, painting custom artwork for VIP guests or personalizing hundreds of pieces for a corporate event, attention to detail is at the heart of every project.
