I started HaileyMade in July 2025 because I wanted casual — but cute — bracelets I could wear almost every day and that would actually last.

After graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2016 (Go Vols!), I spent several years working in live TV and corporate video production. Eventually, I found myself in between corporate producer jobs, serving part-time at a neighborhood bar, and exploring a few newfound hobbies that would soon turn into something more.

Pretty much my entire life, my style has been rooted in neutrals with a pop of color. Think a white sweater, black jeans, black boots — and a hot pink headband. Or a wall of greenery accented with bright teals and subtle hints of yellow and orange.

I wanted that same balance in my jewelry, so I started making it myself. What began as a creative outlet quickly turned into gifts — friends asking for custom bracelets, party favors for dinner parties I hosted, and pieces for bachelorette trips I attended. Before long, it wasn’t just friends anymore. It was friends of friends… and people sitting next to me at the bar.

Less than a year into officially becoming a small business owner, I get to do what I love while contributing to other people’s stories in a way I never could have imagined.

Expressing myself through jewelry is both humbling and deeply meaningful, and I’m endlessly grateful for every order, share, and kind word that supports my small business. Even if you’re just stopping by to see what I’m about — I appreciate you.

When I’m not making jewelry, I’m producing creative content (corporate, video, and everything in between), serving at my favorite neighborhood bar, dogsitting, or exploring one of the 88 million neighborhoods in Chicago. I’m so glad you’re here.
