Hi, I'm Holly, the creator behind HB Designs — a small, heartfelt business based in South Yorkshire. What started as a simple hobby has grown into something I’m incredibly proud to share.

During COVID, life slowed down in unexpected ways, and like many people, I found myself looking for something creative to focus on. I picked up beads, charms, and a few plain pens just for fun — a little moment of calm and creativity in the middle of all the uncertainty.

What I didn’t expect was how much joy it would bring me. Designing pens became my favourite escape: relaxing, expressive, and full of possibilities.

Eventually, I decided to share my creations online. With zero experience and very shaky confidence, I posted my first TikTok video — just me, being myself. To my surprise, people connected with it. Your comments, messages, and support encouraged me to keep going, and that’s how HB Designs slowly began to grow.

Today, every pen is still made by hand — designed, assembled, and packaged by me here in South Yorkshire. They’re colourful, fun, personal, and made to add a little brightness to your everyday life.

If you’ve supported my small business in any way — by purchasing, following, sharing, or simply taking a moment to admire my work — thank you. You’re a huge part of this journey, and I’m truly grateful.
