I'm Hanna, a product designer based in San Diego with four years of experience in fintech and startups. Most of that time was spent at Upward, where I joined as the company's first full-time hire and helped build products from the ground up across credit building, card, and web.
I care about design that works for real people in real situations. Early-stage environments shaped me as a designer, where ambiguity was the norm and the stakes were real. That taught me how to move fast, make decisions with incomplete information, and build things that last. Now I'm looking for an environment where I can bring that foundation to a product and team with more scale behind it.
I'm currently exploring how AI is changing the way designers work and think, and I'm excited to bring that curiosity to my next role.
Outside of work you can usually find me outside, playing volleyball and enjoying the sunshine tax of SD. I love piano and dancing, and have a soft spot for senior animals.
