Experience
I am Hannah Paasche,
an industrial designer from Metro Detroit.
My goal is to bridge the gap between the product and the user by prioritizing human-centered design, creative problem solving, and intentional visual communication. Successful industrial design is purposeful and research-based, combining the needs of the product with the values of the user and doing so with thorough, purposeful form. As a designer, my passion is woven into the process, as I ensure that each step is accomplished with thoughtfulness and precision.
