about hdc

Hello, I’m Hailey! aka HDC

I am the owner and lead designer behind Handmade Designs & Calligraphy! I specialize in wedding stationery and signage, and create a fun mix of digital, letterpress/foil, calligraphy, and hand-lettered designs. I’m a lover of all things wedding and planning, and truly love the entire design process and seeing your inspiration come to life!

Why me

HDC was started in January of 2020. My ‘little covid business’ has come with me through many life changes, and has continued to grow and evolve with each.

I have worked with over 30 couples to help brighten their weddings since 2020. My biggest job has included an order for one of everything from save the dates to invites, signage, escort cards and welcome bags! And then a seating chart for 250 guests! That made my hand hurt.

I currently work as a full time Interior Designer. I went to college for Architecture and have been working in the commercial sector for the past 8 years. I love how my two passions can influence and speak to each other… BUT my favorite part is applying the style of architectural line drawings to my custom venue artwork.

I am also planning my own wedding for 2024 and can extra relate to the craziness!! My vibe is white with a touch of pink and green.

I originally grew up in Vermont, but have spent the last 12 years in the Boston area. Now, my fiance and I (including our two dogs) live in the South Shore of Massachusetts. Everyone meet my support system. My incredibly talented right-hand handy-man, Aaron who helps me with anything and everything. Also meet my baby boy named Bubba who is a 3 year old pitbull and Roxy girl who is 7 year old coon hound.

I can’t wait to learn more about you!
