Jairius, calligrapher and engraver behind White Lotus Lettering in Modesto, California

Hi, it’s nice to meet you!

I’m Jairius, the artist behind White Lotus Lettering, specializing. I am a professional calligrapher in Modesto specializing in calligraphy, hand engraving and hot foiling. I serve Modesto, the Central Valley, Bay Area, Northern California and beyond. I work with people and brands that value connection, storytelling, and unforgettable guest experiences.

Before I ever worked with brands, I was just a small-town artist who couldn’t stop creating. I practiced for years, refined my techniques, and developed my own unique style.

In 2022, I launched White Lotus Lettering! Whether I’m engraving bottles live at an event, customizing gifts for a corporate launch, or crafting pieces that tell a brand’s story, my goal is the same — to create a moment your audience never forgets.

Today, I partner with brands, marketing teams, wineries, and event producers to transform activations into meaningful, high-touch experiences. Moments that spark conversation. Gifts that are one-of-a-kind. Details that make people connect with your brand in a deeper way.

I’m so glad we found each other. I hope you’ll follow along as I’m on my creative journey!

A little more about me

The mother, dressed in white, holds the baby on her lap. A wooden crib is visible to the left, and framed artwork with cartoon bears hangs on the wall behind them.
