Hi, my name is Hanna!



I’m a Multidisciplinary Designer/Art Director who is going to be your next collaborator. I worked and studied in Tokyo, NYC, and Boston,
now based in Honolulu.

What I do is solving problems through communication strategies
and creating solid brand narratives, backed by 10+ years of design/management experience in the US and Japan.

I love working around communication design, building brands, and weirdly enough, coding. Outside my professional time, I enjoy snoozing with my great dane pup, Danton.
