ABOUT

Strong brands are built with intention, not by chance.

Let’s make the moment count.

Branding is the first thing your customers encounter each time they interact with your business, let’s make that count.

NOT BY CHANCE STUDIO

I’m Hannah—a brand designer, educator, and founder of the freelance studio Not by Chance.

With a Bachelor of Design, graduating with first-class Honours and specialising in Illustrative Media and Publication Design, I’ve built a career that blends creativity with strategy. My background in teaching design—both on campus and online—has shaped the way I work with clients: bringing clarity to complex ideas, guiding you through the process with confidence, and ensuring every decision is grounded in purpose.

Branding is where my creative and strategic thinking come together. I’m drawn to its ability to connect purpose, aesthetics, and audience—and to the reminder that design is ultimately about serving others. I bring a wide-ranging skill set, a collaborative mindset, and a genuine commitment to helping brands grow with clarity and confidence.
