Hanna Klein’s Summary
I seek clarity in the midst of noise, substance in the midst of fluff, simplicity for universal access, innovation in place of old habits, and beauty in all shapes. I believe that design is what makes the difference.
I have 10 years of concept-driven design and illustration for the web, working with many major commercial clients in a wide variety of industries. My work has received a People's Voice Webby, Marketing Association Award for Best Shopping Site, and was noted for Creativity by AdWeek.
