Hana received her Bachelor of Architecture degree and Minor in Anthropology from Woodbury University in Burbank, CA. She then received her Master of Science in Architecture Design and Research, Concentration in Digital and Material Technologies, from the University of Michigan. She intends to craft a professional career path that will allow for her to pursue her interests in education design, specifications writing, material studies, and fabrication methods.

Her goal is to be involved in work that will prepare, provide for, and help in nurturing the next generation. She currently works with VMDO Architects in the K12 studio. VMDO has allowed her to explore and implement these goals as they relate to the built environment where many children are required to interact with for majority of their early lives.

Three words to describe her are Dreamer, Maker, and Thinker. Three things that she endeavors to accomplish in her life are to Investigate, Innovate, and Inspire.
