In December 2013 I graduated from Yoobee School of Design with a Diploma in Graphic Design and the Print Category Excellence Award. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and have worked as a fashion designer and design gallery owner. My work has been included in several exhibitions, public collections and fashion shows and I have been awarded finalist placements in the Hokonui Fashion Design Awards and Montana World of WearableArt Awards (WOW), as well as runner-up in the 2006 WOW Avante-Garde Section.

Independent, motivated and resourceful, I have booked international tours for Hannah Howes Music as a solo performer and for a band—overseeing the logistics, finances, transportation, promotion, publicity and day-to-day management of tours in Japan, South East Asia, Europe, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. I also designed ad campaigns, managed a bespoke e-commerce website and social media sites. I am highly productive and effective with my time, having self-produced and released three albums whilst working full-time.

Before studying graphic design I spent twelve months in London marketing and promoting Jaadu—a high-end homeware and clothing store in West Dulwich. My role included—in-house photography, establishing and maintaining the e-commerce site, designing promotional collateral and co-creating their Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show.

In 2014 I worked for Kirkcaldie and Stains Department store, Wellington, NZ as the Visual Merchandising Graphic Designer, designing storewide promotions, window displays, tickets, building banners, directory boards, branding and other collateral.

I am currently working as a Freelance Graphic Designer in Naenae, Lower Hutt—just North of Wellington, NZ.
