About - Wellington business-led designers

Founding Eden Design straight after university nearing 16 years ago, has given Hannah a unique on-the-ground business perspective enabling her to approach client relationships with understanding and practical realistic design solutions in a competitive business market. Owning her own business has left Hannah in the unique position of being exposed to a vast array of business marketing skill sets, print and web design, and supplier/client relationship skills. Communications, information design, publications and brand work are a particular strength of Hannah's, all requiring engagement, consistency and creativity across multiple dimensions. Leading a full life away from work, Hannah loves being a wife, a mum of two little ones, the beach, health and fitness, and cooking up a good wholesome meal.
