HELLO
I'm Hannah. 👋🏼
For starters, I'm an INFP, a Slytherin, and the eldest daughter in my Filipino immigrant family. Raised in a tight-knit household of 10 in San Diego, California, I learned early on the importance of anticipating others' needs and building communities centered around care and inclusion.
COMPASSION
I'm an artist, 🎨
My artistic journey began with a passion for classical ballet and musical theater, where I learned the power of storytelling and emotional expression. In high school, I became fascinated with human behavior and neuroscience, driving me to explore how people think and feel.
CURIOSITY
I'm an engineer, 🔨
My interdisciplinary curiosity led me to Stanford University, where I received by B.S. in Mechanical Engineering: Product Design under the mentorship of David Kelley, the founder of IDEO. At Stanford, I learned to approach technical challenges with an artist's eye, blending creativity with engineering to craft diverse products ranging from 3D printed robots to laser-cut board games to precious metal jewelry.
CRAFT
and I'm a designer. 💡
Now, I strive to leverage my creativity, curiosity, and compassion to design experiences that not only solve problems but also make people feel safe and cared for. My goal is to go beyond static interfaces and craft interactions that resonate on a sensory level, where every gesture, animation, and response feels intentional and thoughtful.
