Hi, I’m HD—thanks so much for stopping by!

After decades in the corporate world, I decided it was time to follow a different path: creating with my hands. What began as a hobby, crocheting for fun and gifting pieces to friends and family, has grown into something I now pour my heart into every day.

I work from my cozy home in Toronto, Ontario, dreaming of a little brick-and-mortar shop. For now, you’ll find my handmade pieces right here in this online space, where I hope you feel just as welcome.

Modern Crochet with a Classic Feel

I’m inspired by contemporary patterns and trending colours and I love to tweak styles. Each item is crafted by hand—never by machine—with attention to detail and an appreciation for slow, intentional fashion.

From choosing the yarn and colour palette to perfecting the size and shape, I make every product to feel beautiful, useful, and lasting—whether it's worn, carried, or part of your home.

Why Handmade Matters

There’s something unmistakable about the feel and look of a handmade piece. I take great joy in the little moments:
> A compliment from a stranger on the bag I’m carrying or the bucket hat I’m wearing
> A friend asking if I can recreate one of the Zen Baskets in a colour to match their decor
> A customer reaching out to say their gift was a hit
These small, meaningful exchanges remind me that crochet is more than craft—it's connection.
