Hi, I’m Hamish Hanna, a graphic designer originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, now based in Galway City. My passion for art and design began early in life and has continued to grow ever since. I studied Graphic Design at Edinburgh Napier University and have experience working both freelance and in-house. I’ve collaborated with clients such as NatWest Bank, Queen Margaret University, and the Scottish Tech Army on the CAKE project, an online resource designed to support nurses dealing with secondary psychological trauma; I enjoy turning ideas into clear, engaging visuals and helping teams communicate complex information effectively. My journey has taken me from Edinburgh to Glasgow and, more recently, to the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland, where I gained exposure to different production processes and printing machinery. I’ve also travelled across Western Europe and the west coast of South America, which has broadened my creative approach. I’m excited for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a designer.
