Hanna is a multidisciplinary art and design director based in Santa Barbara, California
My career began in Boston, where I earned a BFA in Graphic Design with a focus in Environmental Science from Boston University. After graduating, I launched my design studio, Aytch Wye (pronounced “H Y”), building long-term partnerships with East Coast agencies, brands, and startups including Outdoor Voices, Lloyd & Co., the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, and Mechanica USA.
In 2019, I moved to Santa Barbara and continued to expand my practice, spending time shaping design within the emerging cannabis space before joining Sonos. At Sonos, I initially focused on Sonos Radio, later transitioning into my current role where I help steward the visual identity of the company’s product ecosystem. From open-ended brainstorms and large-scale global productions to the nuance of edit and retouch direction, I partner closely with cross-functional teams to bring stories to life with clarity and craft.
As a design leader, I’m deeply committed to building healthy, inspired creative teams. I thrive in roles where I can mentor designers, elevate their work, and create an environment where collaboration, curiosity, and experimentation are expected and supported. I believe strong creative direction is equal parts vision and stewardship—guiding teams toward simplicity, intentionality, and work that feels unmistakably considered.
