I commissioned Oona to complete a very personal Calligraphy piece that was to be a gift to a family member. Onna completed the piece in an extremely professional manner and within the agreed timeframe. Her passion for the art of calligraphy is evident in the quality of her work and I would highly recommend Oona.

We loved the mirrored table plan you put together and the welcome sign for our wedding. It was exactly as we wanted and the attention to detail was on point. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.
