meet the designer
It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Hannah, and I am based in Ontario, Canada. As a creative at heart with a passion for branding, my love for design started at a young age. I began my studies at York University and Sheridan College to complete my bachelor’s degree in Design. I then completed a Sheridan Continuing and Professional Studies course in Front-End Web Development.
After finishing an internship at Rogers Media and working as a graphic designer at Coca-Cola Canada, I decided to pursue freelance design to work with like-minded businesses to help them find their identity through branding and web design.
I was then lucky enough to land a position working at Rakuten Kobo where I specialize in packaging design for globally distributed devices. Additionally, I create visual designs for emails, digital marketing ads, and social media posts. In my spare time, I enjoy learning about web design and coding.
