About

I’m Hannah Curry (formerly Hannah Wood), a graphic designer and artist who loves turning ideas into visuals that feel thoughtful, engaging, and true to the people behind them.

My background is in both studio art and graphic design, so I've always enjoyed the mix of creativity and problem-solving that comes with design. I love figuring out how something should look, but I'm just as interested in the why behind it: what a brand is trying to communicate, who it's speaking to, and how people will actually experience it.

Over the past several years, I've worked across branding, rebranding, campaigns, print and digital design, social media, email, and marketing. I've had the opportunity to help build a brand from the ground up, create systems that make a brand easier for others to use, and work on everything from large campaigns to the small details that help an experience feel complete.

I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Studio Art & Graphic Design and a minor in Communications Media. I grew up in the small town of Shelocta, Pennsylvania, where my love for art started by watching my great-grandma create detailed colored pencil drawings. Her creativity was one of the first things that made me want to create things of my own.

I'm naturally curious and enjoy figuring things out. I like collaborating with people, asking questions, learning along the way, and finding creative solutions when a project doesn't have an obvious answer.

When I'm not designing, I'm usually painting, crafting, reading with a chai tea latte nearby, exploring somewhere new, or planning my next theme park adventure with my husband. I'm especially inspired by nature, color, storytelling, and the little details that make an experience memorable.

At the end of the day, I want to make things that are not only well-designed, but that make people feel something.

Community Involvement

Volunteering has always been an important part of my life. I enjoy using my time, creativity, and skills to serve others, make people feel welcome, and bring a little more joy to the people around me.

  • Since graduating from IUP, I’ve continued participating in the Oak Notes Project, sending personalized notes to incoming Fine Arts students. I love having the opportunity to welcome new students and help them feel connected to the university from the very beginning.

  • For more than four years, I’ve volunteered as a face painter at church events, local festivals, and community gatherings. It’s a fun way to combine my love of painting with making people smile and seeing a child’s excitement when they see their finished design never gets old.

  • I grew up volunteering through my church in a variety of ways, including serving in the Sunday café, helping in the kitchen during the annual summer conference, and teaching Vacation Bible School. These experiences taught me the value of patience, leadership, creativity, and creating welcoming experiences for others.

  • As a student, I attended networking events with IUP’s Board of Directors, university president, and alumni. Now, as an alum, I’ve had the opportunity to return and share my own experiences and career journey with current students. It’s meaningful to go from listening to alumni stories to now being able to share my own.
