I’M A WRITER WHO WENT TO school FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN

I studied writing, too. But only because my parents asked me to, because they saw me write extensively from the moment I was able.

Studying design was one of the best decisions I ever made. I learned how to see the world through color and shape and typography and human-centered experiences (and the lack thereof). My favorite philosophy is that being a designer is not necessarily a (Photoshop/Illustrator/etc) skill, but a point of view. Having that perspective to wield my writing skills is what brought me to advertising just over four years ago.

I love working with designers. I love creating in the visual world. I believe that, amidst shortening attention spans, words are only as meaningful as they are beautiful. Aesthetics matter. Meaning matters. Advertising does both. That’s why I love the work.

Sometimes people say nice things to me and I take them very, very seriously.

  • "The best kind of copywriter is a curious one, and that's Hannah. . . She's also thoughtful, mature, and patient. Those are qualities you don't see often in the creative department, especially so young."

    ACD, WRITER-TURNED-CULINARY-STUDENT. PERFORMANCE REVIEW

  • "You strive to pull work forward whenever you can, you're consistently on time and extremely detailed in all that you do. I'm so grateful for you."

    PM & HOMIE, “AWESOME BLOCK” AWARD

  • "HER DESIGN PROWESS STRENGTHENS HER ABILITY TO WRITE. SHE WILL WORK WELL WIITHIN THE TEAM, TAKING CLEAR DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK. SHE WILL GROW WITH YOU AS LONG AS YOU GIVE HER THE OPPORTUNITY."

  • "She is creative, yet grounded. she is super thoughtful, asks great questions, and yet also a delight to be around. she somehow pulls out the best in others. As in, she can quickly see through to 'the heart of the matter' and grasp a concept in a way others in the room cannot (or at least not as quickly)."
