About HDMakes

A peek behind the scenes...

I'm Heidi, the owner and creator of HDMakes. I am a fibre artist and occasional illustrator based in Portsmouth, UK

Creativity has always been my escape from reality. Making and designing was a way to focus and feel productive while I was struggling with my mental health. I love learning new skills and could never settle on just one hobby. But once I found crochet - I fell in love. The repetitive motions, soothing feel of the fibres, the rhythm of counting and the endless creative possibilities provided the perfect distraction.

I'm just an email away if you have any questions.
