An artist her entire life, Hannah is passionate about the unique and powerful ways visual media can communicate and spark ideas, especially when artwork is made by the community for the community. She has a B.A. in English and Visual Studies from Trinity College, and an M.A. in Graphic and Information Design from Central Connecticut State University (CCSU).

Hannah is an Adjunct Professor for CCSU’s Department of Design.
