We discuss her perspective on commercial and residential design and her strategy for qualifying projects that best align with her business model and personal design approach. We also dive into the value of expanding your professional circle, and Hannah shares her top networking tips for creative introverts.

"I'm very upfront when interviewing clients—I'm not the designer for everyone, and that's okay. There's a designer out there for everyone." "Make sure there is an aspect or component of your business that truly brings you joy. You're the business owner; you have the ability to make joy part of your business."
