Never Learn Alone

I truly believe that nothing is more valuable than personal feedback. Even though this class is online, I've designed it to be as personal as possible so that you can succeed. Because of that, this class comes with:

  • Clear, in depth lessons that you can watch and rewatch

  • A course built to work on your time table. Watch lessons when and how often you like.

  • Personalized feedback videos directly from me after each lesson

Here's What Students Are Saying...

  • Lindsey Empie

    "I just want to tell you how much I love this class. Learning all of the parts so I can go forward with confidence has been one of my dreams in lettering. I have many books but this class taught me so much more. Making the fancy drop cap was a culmination of bringing the knowledge together and I followed you but I had reasoning behind what I did. Loved it!"

  • Leah McGee

    “I just wanted to thank you for offering this online class and especially for all of the personal feedback! That has been a huge help to me! I’ve gone through exercises to learn about strokes and letter forms, but nothing like this! I love how your emphasis is really on learning how to form letters and why! I feel like this has really helped me progress from copy work and memorization to feeling more confident creating my own designs and style!”

  • Paula Enos

    "I had been feeling really discouraged with my work for some time and was considering giving up because it just wasn't fun anymore. This class really encouraged me to keep going and all your suggestions were great and constructive. It really helped me remember how much I actually enjoy lettering and now I'm even getting up early everyday to work on it (and I am not a morning person, so that's something!)"

Hi! I'm Hayley!

As a professional working freelance hand lettering artist and illustrator, I know a thing or two about what makes good hand lettering. I've worked with hundreds of clients all over the United States on lettering projects- everything from magazines, to murals, to packaging designs and more! I love hand lettering and love sharing it with others. I've taught online and at Utah Valley University for over 5 years and nothing makes me happier than helping students learn to love letters as much as I do.
