Builder’s Experience: from shipped AI products to luxury goods.

Strategist’s Rigour: Ask the right questions. Listen closely.

Designer’s Taste: the thing AI can’t generate for you.

I’m Hannah. I bring all three to the work.

Me on a regular day.

Me if we work together.

Me if we work together.

I’m a designer making complex technology feel intuitive and useful.

Most recently, I helped bring agentic products for pharmacy operations through to acquisition as part of an AI startup’s founding team.

My background spans design consulting, fashion, and an M.S. at MIT. I’ve also taught taste and Gestalt principles at Tufts University and served as Sponsorship Chair at IDSA Boston.

Raised in New Zealand. Outside, birdwatching. Usually willing to give it a crack.
