About Margaret Davis

Founder of Pens and Petals

Welcome!

I am a professional calligrapher based in New York offering elevated, detail-driven services for luxury brands and clients. I offer a range of services from New York City to the East End of Long Island, and am passionate about sharing my love of calligraphy and lettering. My services include live personalization services that elevate brand activations, corporate and PR events, weddings, and more. I also offer creative and instructional workshops, partnering with beautiful venues throughout New York, that are designed and curated to spark creativity and connection.

My onsite work enhances storytelling, deepens customer engagement, and creates meaningful, memorable experiences.

Prior to founding Pens and Petals, I spent much of my career in Product Development and Merchandising for corporate retail and Museums including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ralph Lauren, Gap and private label jewelry design houses. During my time in Product Development at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was overseeing adaptations for reproductions from the collection for jewelry, watches, and fine writing instruments. As I was curating the fine writing instrument collection, I found my love of writing expanded as I learned more about pen mechanics, and historical writing techniques. Calligraphy became a hobbyist passion which would eventually evolve to present day Pens and Petals. In my career I have developed a deep understanding of brand identity and luxury experiences for brands and clientele, and my signature lettering styles style are seamlessly incorporated into products and memorable experiences.
