My Life at a Glance

Growing up in an adventurous family in the beautiful Mohawk Valley gave Hannah a vibrant personality with an abundance of creative energy.  She celebrates life with productive work and service to her community, a healthy body and compassionate heart.

Hannah fell in love with her first Mac Classic computer in elementary school.  From playing the Oregon Trail in the school library to creating abstract art in Paint Works, her fascination with digital technology was born.  In high school, Hannah used her first Adobe applications to design and layout media kits for her sports teams, the Axemen Swim and OAR Crew Team.  While studying at the University of Oregon, she was given the prestigious Centurion Award for "dedication and outstanding service as a student leader". 

Hannah's ethic is to work hard and play hard. When not plugged into a computer, you'll find her outside with family and friends.  She is passionate about sustainability, health, adventure and supporting her local community.

Technical Skills

Art history and visual communication studies balanced technical multimedia courses providing a well rounded understanding of visual literacy and the modern mediums for communication. The Adobe Creative Suite (CS5) is her weapon of choice and she primarily codes with HTML/CSS and Java. Apple is Hannah's friend.
