About Suz Miller, Magenta Ink Calligraphy
Hello, I’m Suz Miller, the creative force behind Magenta Ink Calligraphy, a bespoke calligraphy studio based near Edinburgh, Scotland. With over a decade of experience and a portfolio that includes prestigious names like Tiffany & Co., Gleneagles Hotel, and Neom, I have had the pleasure of bringing unique, hand-lettered designs to life for some of the world’s most well-known brands.
My journey into the world of calligraphy began early, as I was immersed in the world of signage from a young age. My father and grandfather both ran successful sign businesses, with my dad specialising in neon glassblowing. The vibrant colours, intricate shapes, and the sheer scale of their work fascinated me. To this day, I can spot their signs dotted all around Scotland, each one holding a special place in my heart.
As I grew older, my love for fonts, design, and, of course, beautiful lettering only deepened. It was this passion that led me to specialise in wedding calligraphy, from elegant invitations to personalised table names and detailed table plans. Over the years, I’ve crafted bespoke pieces for couples, businesses, and events, always with a focus on creating something truly special.
In addition to my calligraphy, I often combine my work with delicate watercolour artwork, which perfectly complements the flowing letters. This combination creates truly stunning designs that are especially popular with venues and hotels, where I can bring an added personal touch to events or corporate gifts. Whether it's an elegant venue invitation, a charming table plan, or a festive piece like a personalised bauble, my watercolour accents bring warmth and individuality to every project.
I also love taking my inks on tour, offering live calligraphy at special events such as product launches, shopping evenings, and more. Watching guests delight in seeing their names elegantly written on the spot is always a highlight. And for those looking for something extra special, my Valentine’s card collection is designed for the ultimate mystery admirer – each card thoughtfully crafted with a unique, personal touch that will leave a lasting impression.
When I’m not busy designing, I can often be found on a sunny afternoon, surrounded by paints, pens, and paper, working on a new commission or creating something completely new. Whether it’s for a wedding, a festive occasion, or a corporate event, I love bringing my clients’ visions to life through my unique calligraphy style.
If you’re looking for something truly special, I would love to collaborate with you. Whatever you have in mind, let’s make it happen together.

We are often asked to create bespoke watercolour pieces for use in brochures and for online content. This piece was created for The Dalmahoy Hotel Christmas 2023 brochure and for use on their social media.
Starting with an idea we will put together some initial sketches and will show you as we progress to ensure the right outcome for your own designs.
We have created various handwritten menus, from these individual breakfast items to coffee shop menus and blackboard signage. If you have something in mind we would love to chat about it.
Our pens love an outing and we can set up a personalisation station for any event. Calligraphy is not limited to paper either - we can write on almost anything from gift boxes and candles through to shells, mirrors and baubles - we love a challenge!
