Intent on revealing each site’s intrinsic qualities, Hannah enjoys the challenge of translating complex site-specific challenges into clear design solutions and in observing how a site evolves over time. Her nimble graphics and technical knowledge bring her projects to life – whether it’s in public outreach, permitting, client review, or through construction. Hannah often communicates with a sketch and a smile – and an exclamation point! Her ideal project is built work that creates lasting memories by forging an emotional connection between people and place.

Areas of Expertise
Outside the Office
Whether it’s returning to the wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, hiking the East Coast, camping in the intermountain west, or traveling to new cities, Hannah seeks out places to absorb the colors and sounds of the landscapes she inhabits. In her free time, you can find her making excuses to be silly with her husband and young kids, biking, snowshoeing, listening to music, gardening, and cooking with whatever ingredients she’s got.
