I highly recommend Merri Klar for all your design needs.  I have worked with Merri since 2019 and her artistic abilities execute the right touch, the correct branding skills and a delight to work with.  All her finished product is brilliant.  Merri is a pleasure to work with and we always can count on her to promote the Federation in a most professional manner

Merri crafted the most stunning wedding album for us! From start to finish, she worked closely with us, making sure every detail was perfect and the final product reflected exactly what we envisioned. Her creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to capture the essence of our wedding made the album truly unique and personal. Merri has an incredible talent and was such a joy to collaborate with. We’re so grateful to her for creating a timeless keepsake of our special day that we will treasure forever.

Art to Make People Smile

I love to create art that’s fun, meaningful and engaging which inspired my nieces to encourage me to create my own business and call it ‘totallyAUNTmerri.’  They planted a seed that blossomed into totallyMERRI, where I bring the beauty of calligraphy and engraving to my clients. Recently I joined forces with the talented Debby Reelitz of Lettering Design. In addition to traditional hand-crafted calligraphy, we offer laser engraving services as well as a team of artists for live on-site calligraphy and engraving.We are happy to create original custom products for your home or business. We are based in NW Connecticut and ship worldwide.
