Desiree & her team have been incredibly helpful over the years! I am a stationer and calligrapher, and have worked with Inkwell Designers on several projects. Specifically, I love working with them to bring my calligraphy script to life with laser-cutting wood! She is a great resource to have and I love working with her. I highly recommend Inkwell Designers for any project you may have, big or small!

This is the third time I have used Inkwell designers. And this is the third time I have been amazed with the product. The first was a Bible for my daughter - I was a slacker and the turn around time was amazing and life saving. The second was the engraving of a wine bottle and my family could not have been happier or more impressed. The third is a great surprise for my family and I cant wait to see the finished product. I highly recommend this business.
