Creating experiences
Through Calligraphy
Intentional calligraphy and engraving that elevate moments, set the tone, and leave a lasting impression.
Since 2015
calligraphy has been more than an art form for me
it’s been a way to create meaningful, elevated experiences through thoughtful personalization
As the founder of Amanda Reid Designs, I specialize in modern calligraphy and live event engraving that brings intention and beauty to every moment. Based in Austin, Texas and serving Central Texas and beyond, I partner with brands, planners, and creatives who want their guests to feel seen, celebrated, and impressed—from corporate activations and influencer events to private gatherings and luxury weddings.
I’ve had the honor of working with industry leaders like Louis Vuitton, Google, SXSW, Laura Mercier, and Kendra Scott, offering fast, high-quality personalization that blends artistry with professionalism. Whether I’m engraving on-site, designing custom place cards, or leading a creative workshop, my goal is to create an experience that feels effortless, memorable, and completely tailored to you. I also proudly founded Calligraphers of Color, a platform that amplifies minority creatives in the industry and reflects my deeper commitment to excellence, representation, and purpose-driven artistry.
