Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m a Southern California-based designer with over 15 years of experience and a career that's taken me into just about every corner of the creative world.
My husband and I live in a little historic town with our dog, Gus. We love him, our home, looking at boats we can’t afford, black coffee, bourbon, and honestly, we just can’t live without each other. At the end of the day, I’m an artist. I was born one, and it’s one of those facts of the universe that can’t be changed. But I also love puzzles, systems, and being completely Type A, which is probably why I’ve loved my career so much and the incredible brands and people I’ve gotten to work with along the way. Thanks for stopping by!
A different side to my work
In February 2026, after a decade of my husband nudging me to try painting and a decade of me coming up with reasons not to, I finally gave it a shot and became completely obsessed. I was particularly drawn to portraits and, oddly enough, fabric. I love how challenging it is, and the fact that it will probably take me a lifetime to master makes me love it even more. It's also been such a fun opportunity to step away from the computer and create something entirely by hand.

Illustration has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I've fallen in love with drawing and designing characters. They just make me smile, and I fully intend to keep creating them until I’m 100. I've actually written, illustrated, and self-published three books, all available on Amazon. The links are below if you’re interested.
