Manifesto
Hana believes that the best working process brings out the best result. She carefully considers each step from research to sketches, development, and final design. She often asks herself lots of questions, like "Is there a different or better way to do this?", "Who is this for?", and "What is the purpose?".
Hana also has great curiosity and a desire to continue learning new skills, new processes, and to work with new people. She would like everyone to see her passion through her work.
