ABOUT KATRINA CENTENO
KATRINA CENTENO
• • • “"As a calligrapher, I will make your projects divinely without question. As a businesswoman, I will acknowledge your opinions and questions with the best of intentions, patience and without judgment. I will try my hardest to give light to your vision and will scour for solutions. I am frank but honest and will make sure to help with every decision to save your woes with some tricks of the trade without compromise to quality and elegance. I will also make sure to run beyond and more so you don't have to. I will hold your hand to keep you calm so you don't panic, and will deliver what you've dreamt since you were a young girl. I believe that everyone should have a chance to receive and enjoy the grandeur and elegance of the handwritten name by making it accessible with quality without sacrificing a weeks’ worth meal. As Katrina, I will be your friend and confidant, because I am more than just any businesswoman or calligrapher.”" - Katrina Centeno• • • “"My business came from humble beginnings. No one gave me the money to invest nor did I even have a business plan. With $10 to buy a pen and a pack of envelopes, I started writing my first bride’s envelopes on our dining table while sharing it with my little siblings as they do their homework. That was my financial capital; everything else came from patience, sheer determination, and a lot of faith and support. I wouldn’t be anywhere without my mom, my siblings, my loving partner, my friends, my family, and God. In addition to the best support system, I have my wonderful clients and intelligent colleagues who help me along this path, to challenge me with new projects, to create from outside my boundaries, give me more knowledge, and to push me beyond my box – My love and appreciation is to the moon and back!”" -– Katrrina Centeno• • • If you ask her how she knew how to write like that, her simple answer is, "I don't know, that's how it came out!" Her only practice was her note-taking since pre-school until it evolved to her break-out font, the Original Classic Katrina. As she went further in the business, she started creating more fonts; her most used to date, her signature Royale Katrina font. With this innate skill, she is able to manipulate her letters to fit her clients’ wishes and uses this advantage to finish her work with precision and speed. More tails and swirls? -Done! Tone it down? -No problem. • • • Katrina's whole family has always been business savvy, but she used her own dedication to leap. At the age of 21, she graduated with a 4.0 GPA and received a gold tassel and Presidents Award at Le Cordon Bleu. She burned bridges and took her newfound love and passion -calligraphy, stationery, weddings, and events- to a whole new level. She dedicated her whole life to do calligraphy full-time and as brides started asking for menus and hand-written invitations, she packed her library with bridal books and magazines. The epiphany came and she created MAISON DU PAPIER and embraced it with CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA.

ABOUT CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA
CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA
• • • CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA is the brainchild of its highly artistic and talented founder, Katrina Lariza Centeno. After a soon-to-be-wed-friend asked Katrina to address her wedding envelopes, Katrina started looking at her options. With $10 to buy a pen and a pack of envelopes, she started writing her first bride’s envelopes on their dining table. That initial project landed a very encouraging write-up in the famous wedding blog, Project Wedding. Consequently, her innate writing skill finally found its way from her adopted home in Pasadena, California to the celebrity-infested, western side of SoCal, popularly known as Beverly Hills. What began as a trickle of hesitant brides soon blossomed into a hoard of excitedly anticipating brides overly eager enough to trust their once-in-a-lifetime wedding into Katrina's fabled hands. PR companies followed suit. CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA was finally born. In less than 2 years, at a relatively young age of 21, Katrina's distinctive calligraphic styles have become a byword synonymous to luxury, class, and hauteur. To date, CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA's rapidly growing prominent clientele includes events by Mercedes Benz, Maybach, Disney/REDCAT, Versace, Fendi, Bulgari, and Berenger Vineyards, to name a few.• • • CALLIGRAPHY KATRINA specializes in providing personalized beauty and sophistication to every set of invites, place card, menu and other hand-written paraphernalia necessary to make a brides dream come to life on her wedding day. With each stroke is a promise of pristine elegance only a professional calligrapher like Katrina can bring. The speed with which her projects are completed is by itself a force to reckon with. In addition, her remarkably growing knowledge of her craft and event planning general, plus her excellent customer service skills make it a most pleasurable experience working with her. Katrina’s work can also be found in numerous online blogs and magazines such as Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, Utterly Engaged, and more!MAISON DU PAPIER • • • The idea is for the client and Katrina to build these stationery suites together. It will give the client the capability to choose any setting from Katrina's collection or from scratch with the blend of different hues of color, textures of paper, and techniques such as letterpress, stamping and embossing. With their choice from any of Katrina's fonts, she will make a master copy, which will be used as a template for mass-production. With new invitations, menus, programs, and much more stationery paraphernalia done every week, Maison’s portfolio is growing rapidly and will soon offer collections with natural materials and items that can also be used as favors, such as wooden fans and fine abaca threads. Katrina's belief of Accessible Quality is met as the prices are very affordable and will work with any budget. It is a process, but the yield is of elegance, creativity, and unique with character that a bride can be truly proud of.
