About JoHanna.  
Rain and a Rainbow  

I use design as a way of exploring the world, getting to the root of a problem with an emphasis on empathy. My designs, exhibit a quality of whimsey, lightness, and optimism. I want to work on projects that have a focus on sustainability and advocacy for marginalized communities. Much of my work involves looking at a serious problem and then striving to find a empathy-focused appropriate solution. Rain and a rainbow.

I design products, services, and sometimes systems to be used by individuals or groups. Much of the allure of Industrial Design personally is that it is so versatile. There are a seemingly endless number of directions to explore, from designing physical products such as outdoor gear and soft goods to designing spaces and systems. I adore exploring new topics and learning new skills to add to my design process. 

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, cooking, gardening, and working on personal projects for friends and family.
