loves a good table

Mahjong should feel welcoming, not intimidating

Haley Tuthill of Highland Made Company

Hi, I'm Haley

I love helping people get past the intimidating part.

Mahjong has a lot of moving pieces at first. The tiles, the card, the Charleston, the calling. It becomes so much more fun once somebody shows you the rhythm of the game in a way that actually makes sense.

I'm a certified teacher with a Master's in Teaching, and I spent years figuring out how to break hard things into pieces people can hold. That's the same thing I do at a Mahjong table.

Highland Made Company is where all of that comes together: teaching, gathering people, and making resources that are useful enough to need and pretty enough to leave out on the table.

What matters here

Welcoming beats intimidating

Warm teaching

No gatekeeping, and no making beginners feel behind. Questions are the point.

Useful design

Resources that solve real problems at a real table, not decoration.

Connection

The best part of this game has always been who gathers around it.
