Honey By Hand is my passion project turned small business—a space where creativity, nature, and nostalgia come together. It all began in October 2019 on Etsy, just before the world shifted. When my university sent students home during the early days of the pandemic, I leaned into my creative outlets for comfort and purpose. What started as a simple way to pass the time during a hard season slowly blossomed into something more—a real business built with heart (and a lot of handmade love).

While continuing my studies, I discovered another deep love: geography. I earned my master’s degree in geographic and cartographic sciences, and began doing freelance map work—pausing my Etsy shop along the way. But even as I built a career in cartography, I felt the steady pull back to Honey By Hand. This shop has always been more than a hobby—it’s a reflection of who I am and what I love: storytelling through maps and crafting meaningful pieces.

Thanks for being here. Whether you're browsing for something special or just getting to know the heart behind this space, it means the world to me.
