Want to go a trip? Let’s take a journey through what makes me, ME!



Hey, I’m Hannah, here’s a little bit about me:

I’ve always been drawn to how things feel β€” the way color, sound, and movement can turn an idea into an experience. Before I ever called myself a designer, I was the kid staying up too late editing photos, building playlists, and chasing that moment where creativity just clicks. Over time, that instinct became a craft β€” a blend of design, storytelling, and curiosity that’s followed me into everything I do.

From crochet to painting, photography to drawing, I’ve dabbled in almost every medium you can imagine. I like to joke that I’m a serial hobbyist β€” but really, I’m just someone who never stopped creating. Every new obsession teaches me something about seeing the world differently, and that’s what keeps me inspired.
