Informed by her educational backgrounds in journalism and design, her teaching focuses on design authorship with an emphasis on thought-provoking and accessible storytelling. Outside of teaching, Hannah is a practicing designer and also runs her own business Greater Than, which works one-on-one with clients to improve and refine their design portfolios through self-authored projects.
