ABOUT ME

My name is Hallie, I am the founder of honey design + story. Over the last eight years, I have worked in a variety of marketing and communications roles at businesses large and small. Initially, I was a film major at UC San Diego before transferring to UCLA where I studied art history and ultimately graduated with a BA in history. While at UC San Diego, I worked as a graphic designer/marketing intern in the Housing Dining and Hospitality (HDH) department.


After graduating from UCLA, I worked at a small nonprofit in San Diego, where I moved from Administrative Assistant to Operations Manager and eventually led digital marketing efforts as the Social Media + Data Manager. After some time off from school, I decided it was time to expand my skills and went back to school at the University of Washington (UW) where I received my Masters in Communication with a concentration in digital media. As my senior project, I developed and produced a podcast series on the experiences of people living "uprooted lives" like military spouses, third culture kids, military kids, etc. During my Masters I also held a variety of positions, including Project Manager/Graphic Designer for a consulting agency, Project Manager for a student run group to launch a mask selection tool for a Washington State department and then as a Marketing & Communications Consultant for UW's CoMotion.

​

Now I'm eager to put my skills to use more broadly. I started honey design + story out of a desire to help creators, nonprofits and small businesses tell their unique stories. From graphic design, to branding, podcast development, and professional film editing - deep/cuts is here to help. Contact me today to set up a meeting and find out more about what I can do for you.
