The Kimi Collective
The Kimi Collective is a calligraphy and design studio based in Southern California, founded by Kimi Wakamoto, your signage and stationery BFF. Specializing in wedding invitations, custom signage, and live on-site experiences, TKC is where heartfelt details meet refined design — with a personal touch every step of the way.
From dreamy invitation suites and elevated seating charts to large-scale welcome displays and interactive escort walls, Kimi brings your wedding vision to life through intentional, handcrafted details. Every project begins with connection — a one-on-one design consultation where she gets to know you, your story, and the aesthetic that makes your day feel like you. The result? Pieces that are not only beautiful, but deeply meaningful.
With a background in calligraphy and a passion for personalized experiences, Kimi works closely with couples and planners alike to craft cohesive designs across materials like acrylic, wood, linen, and more. The Kimi Collective is also known for its custom laser cutting, engraving, and day-of setup support, making the process seamless from start to finish.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full-scale celebration, The Kimi Collective brings warmth, artistry, and intention to every detail — creating keepsakes that will be remembered long after the last dance.
Let’s design something unforgettable, together.

Owner + Creative
Hi there! I’m Kimi — calligrapher, designer, and founder of The Kimi Collective.
What started as a creative hobby turned into the most heart-filling journey: creating beautiful, meaningful pieces for couples and brands who care about the little things that make a big impact.
Around here, it’s not just about signage or stationery — it’s about storytelling. I work closely with each client to bring their vision to life in a way that feels thoughtful, cohesive, and deeply personal. From invitation suites to large-scale signage to custom installations, I’m here to help you create that wow moment.
And if you’re looking to add something truly unforgettable? My live calligraphy and engraving services turn your event into an experience — creating one-of-a-kind keepsakes your guests will treasure (and probably post about). Think perfume bottles, barware, gift tags, even sunglasses — all personalized in real time with a little bit of love and a lot of intention.
I’m so grateful you’re here, and I’d be honored to be a part of your celebration — whether that’s behind-the-scenes designing or live and in-person, pen (or engraver!) in hand.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
