Hello, I’m Hanna. The artist behind the studio.

nana hanana is an artist-led studio where the work acts as an extension of my lived journey. My perspective has been shaped by a nomadic path—moving from Korea to the US a decade ago, building a life in Michigan, New York City, and Philadelphia, before finally arriving in California.

I share my art as a reflection of personal growth, self-acceptance, and the insights gathered along the way. Some pieces are rooted in "gentle thoughts"—reminders to keep hard-won realizations close to heart. Others exist "just because"—born from the simple, playful joy of a fun idea or an aesthetic that brings happiness.

By weaving these thoughts into lifestyle goods, I hope to create daily moments of light. My wish is simply to share these fragments of warmth with you; if a story resonates, I am glad to have made that connection.
