Hello, I'm Hannah.
I am passionate about creative expression and how it can be used to address and solve problems. Art has the power to communicate and speak to people from different cultures and backgrounds. I enjoy being a part of the conversation and using my gifts to help bring people together.
If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I would love to connect with you. Thanks for exploring my work and I hope you enjoyed it.

My Interior Stylist
Freelance: Brisbane, AU (Remote) | 07/18–12/18
How you approach a client from another country looks different then working with someone from your own. Some phrases do not translate, so it is important to use language that both parties can understand. I also learned that graphic style changes from culture to culture so I tailored my work accordingly.
