My Approach

I pour my heart into every experience I create. Whether it’s live guest portraits or a custom sticker vending machine, my goal is to create moments that feel joyful, personal, and unforgettable.

I believe art has a special way of bringing people together. I want your guests to smile, laugh, and walk away with a keepsake that reminds them of the love and celebration they shared with you. Every piece I create is filled with intention, warmth, and my signature playful SOFA style.

Before your big day, I work closely with you to create artwork that reflects your story. From custom couple portraits displayed at your event to personalized sticker designs inspired by your personalities, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to feel uniquely yours. I arrive early, connect with your guests, and create an experience that feels seamless, interactive, and full of heart.

More than anything, I hope every portrait and sticker becomes a small reminder of a beautiful day shared with the people you love most. Creating those moments is what inspires me, and it’s a privilege to be part of your celebration.

Work Samples

Custom Portrait for Couple

Before your wedding, I create a custom portrait of the two of you to display at your event. This portrait is finished and framed ahead of time to be displayed at your wedding for guests to enjoy. Couples will receive it as a special keepsake after the celebration.

Live Guest Portraits

At your wedding or event, I arrive early to set up and photograph your guests, then create each portrait with care throughout the celebration. Every 5x7 piece is made with premium materials and placed in a clear sleeve, giving your guests a cute and meaningful keepsake to take home.

Custom Sticker Vending Machine

Before your event, I create three custom sticker designs inspired by your story, personalities, and favorite things. Whether it’s your pets, hobbies, shared memories, or meaningful details, each illustration is thoughtfully designed to feel uniquely you. Throughout the celebration, guests can visit the vending machine to collect a fun keepsake and take home a little piece of your special day.

Custom Sneakers

Each pair of custom sneakers is designed with heart and intention. I learn your style and story, then hand-draw a design that feels personal and uniquely you. Every shoe becomes a fun, wearable piece of art made just for you.

What My Clients Say

"SOFA Designs is such a unique and wonderful touch to any special event. We just had them at our wedding reception last month, and it was a hit!! The live portraits are sweet and detailed. Truly a special and creative gift for guests. Sophia and her partner are professional to work with and very kind.
Highly recommended!"

"Sophia was a dream to work with! From the moment we saw her work on Instagram, we knew we needed her at our wedding. She was easy to communicate with and worth every penny. Our guests raved about her art and we were so thrilled by it all. Top tier experience!"
