About

Hello there!

I’m Hannah, an American transplant who’s thrilled to be living in New Zealand!

I’m a freelance writer, artist and branding consultant. I have decades of experience working with lifestyle brands here and around the world. Since obtaining my degree in Design from Parsons in New York City, I’ve done a bit of everything; From trend-forecasting and design to branding, sales and marketing. In every type of role, I’ve relied on my skills of observation, problem-solving, creativity and communication.

Working with fabricators, warehouse workers, executives and high-end clients, I’ve learned to listen and tailor my voice to the audience, with their unique communication style and expectations.

I’ve seen firsthand the power of honest engagement and genuine enthusiasm. It’s made me a genuine believer in the power of authentic communication. I bring these traits to everything I do, from writing to painting to styling. When I’m not at the laptop, you’ll catch me walking my Brussels Griffons, around Murray’s Bay.

Auckland-based - Happy to work with businesses worldwide.
