Nice to meet you

My Name is Heather, the owner of
HMV Designs

 

A little about me...

I graduated from Johnson & Wales University in 2014, and my journey into graphic design has been fueled by passion and dedication. During my college years, I honed my skills and was honored to become a published designer by my junior year, with my work featured across the New England area. This incredible achievement solidified my drive to make a lasting impact in the design world.

After graduating, I returned to Delaware and founded HMV Designs, a creative studio dedicated to helping businesses achieve their branding and marketing goals. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive national recognition for my work. Some of my notable achievements include:

  • 2019 and 2020 Package Design Awards from Graphic Design USA.

  • 2023 In-House Design Award for Branding.

  • 2023 Publication Design Award from Graphic Design USA.

  • 2024 Award for Excellence in Digital Publishing.

  • Aster Awards: Silver in Healthcare Marketing (2023) and Gold in Healthcare Marketing (2024).

Beyond my work with HMV Designs, I’ve dedicated myself to empowering women entrepreneurs through Delaware Female Creatives, a community I founded that has grown to over 3,500 members. This network connects women-owned businesses, fostering collaboration, growth, and shared success. One of my proudest achievements is creating the Pretty in Pink Networking Event, an initiative that highlights and supports women entrepreneurs in our region.

As an award-winning designer and community builder, my goal is to inspire and uplift through creativity, collaboration, and meaningful connections. I look forward to continuing this journey and making a positive impact.
