I’m Hannah, a graphic designer with over 20 years’ experience in branding, print and digital design. I help businesses communicate clearly and confidently through thoughtful, well-crafted design. As a creative partner, I take the time to understand your business, goals and audience, and by working closely with clients and their teams, I create design solutions that are considered, effective and visually appealing. My work covers everything from branding and design for print to websites, including e-commerce. I manage projects from concept to delivery, coordinating suppliers and specialists as needed, and I take pride in being friendly, reliable and responsive while delivering work that adds clarity and confidence to your brand.

I’m happy to meet in-person or online. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to know more.

I am an award-winning visual artist using moving image to create video art and installations, often incorporating multidisciplinary, site-specific and live artworks. The main focus of my work is how art and technology can be used to explore the embodiment of space by the self and other, while challenging notions of absence and presence, real and simulated, and live versus mediated experience. I use specialised equipment and innovative filmmaking techniques to engage audiences, allowing them to bring their own sense of self and experiences to the artworks.
