I’m Hanna Shibata, an independent Multidisciplinary Designer who is going to be your next collaborator.
I worked and studied in Tokyo, NYC, and Boston, now based in Honolulu.
After starting my career as a package designer in Tokyo, I expanded my role into branding and communication as an in-house creative, where I managed relations with internal and external stakeholders, building a creative team from scratch. I left Tokyo to pursue my graduate studies at Pratt Institute, and continued my career as an in-house Design Lead/Art Director in the United States since 2020.
I’m now taking time to expand my skill set and explore the digital realm of design.
