Where did the idea come from?

Many of the prints available now stem from that very first whirlwind night of inspiration when Jenny decided to throw the map of the USA out the window and treat the states like any other shapes. After sketching each state, she let her imagination loose. The patterns ballooned to 100+ that night, she knew she was onto a totally unique idea, and #designwithawink was born.

Family Traditions

There’s even a wink in our name. “Honey” and “Hank” are the grandparent names Jenny’s two kids call her parents. Jenny is very close with her mom, and Honey makes frequent appearances to share hostess wisdom and design tips.

What is “Design with a wink”?

Texas-based designer, Jenny Smiley, loves a good wink. In life and in design. She coined her “design with a wink” style by creating commonly loved patterns out of uncommon shapes. At first, you see a tasteful basketweave, stripe, or floral. Looking closer, you’ll see the shape of your favorite state, pastime or pet that makes up the pattern – the “aha!” moment that makes people melt.

Let's Celebrate

HONEY + HANK is a women-owned, women-led brand that believes the memories of the places and pastimes that shape us are worth celebrating. In every print, there are surprises that make our customers feel seen, special, and celebrated. All to create a priceless “I know you” moment between the giver and the gifted.
