Our Story

Hi, I’m Kayce. I’m a wife, mom of two girls, and I’ve been working as a graphic designer since the early 2000’s.  I have an overflowing drawer of graphic tees, and have always loved a comfy outfit. Hello Handpressed is a mash-up of things I love...I hope you love it too!

I launched our business on Etsy late 2015 with hopes that one day it would support my family. Things took off in ways I never would have anticipated, and soon after my husband Simon quit his career in Geology + Environmental Science and joined me in our full-time venture. 

We quickly grew to be one of Etsy’s top sellers. In fact, we’re one of the top 100 sellers in the clothing category. We absolutely love Etsy, and you can still find us there as well at https://hellohandpressed.etsy.com.

By the summer of 2016 we hired staff, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the amazing people we work with!  

We launched our independent website the winter of 2026 to open up some new opportunities to bring our amazing customers more product offerings!

A bit more about us…

Like most start-ups, we began in our basement, moved a few times to bigger spaces as we outgrew each one, and now operate out of a 4000sqf warehouse with a crew of 8-10+ staff (depending on the season)!

We’re so blessed to work with an incredible group of people who are like family, and to take care of all of the awesome customers we’ve met over the years!

We are a full-service shop. We offer graphic design, a wide variety of in-stock inventory, print all of our orders in-house, and personally package and ship every item we sell. We're proud to have our hands on your order, every step of the way!

Thank you so much for shopping small, and being here with us! We’re honored to be able to be a part of your life in a small way, and we hope our shirts bring you a touch of happiness – whether it’s for a special occasion, or the thousands of “little moments” that make life worth living!
