DSDN171 Design Persona


Hannah – A name that means gracious, full of grace and mercy.
As any human I may not consistently project the traditional gracious nature that a Hannah is said to obtain but I guess even Hebrews can be a faulty judge of character. Even so, that’s the name I was given when I was bought into this world on the 27th of May 1993 by two of the most incredible parents any child could ever ask for.  When you have no siblings your parents automatically become your everything, they are much of the reason why I have ended up here in wellington.

In all honesty and as shallow as it may appear my first interest in design came from shopping. Colour, texture, fabric or season, it amazed me how such a minor part of every day life could distinguish one person so dramatically from the next. Not so much in the sense of fashion, but more in the sense of personality. Regardless of where I was in the world – India or New Zealand, everyone was self-expressive, and that was due to the design of his or her own culture that in a way, both separates and brings together. It was at design class in school where I was able to put these ideas in motion as my passion for design continually built. Kareem Rizk in terms of style is an inspiration to me and it was half way through year 13 looking at his works when I realized this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

I want to make the most out of every opportunity given to me while I am at design school and whatever comes my way in the future because life’s too short to waste.
