Hello!

I'm Hannah Beck,
a product designer.

I’m a Brisbane-based designer who thrives on complex problems in ambiguous environments. I use systems thinking, deep empathy and meticulous attention to detail to craft user-centric products that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Key strengths

Strategic systems thinking

I develop strategic systems by carefully mapping how features and workflows fit together. These become strong foundations that support consistent, intuitive, and scalable user experiences across teams.

Empathetic interaction design

I optimise for simple, intuitive experiences that align with users’ mental models and domain knowledge, especially when the underlying tech is unfamiliar or rapidly evolving.

Smooth cross-discipline collaboration

I work closely with engineers, researchers and PMs to deliver high-quality work at pace. I believe the best results come when teams share a clear understanding of the problem and are empowered to apply their strengths to solve it.

Delight grounded in utility

I love using illustration and animation to explain, connect, or spark joy, while recognising that often the most delightful moments are those that quietly remove friction or help users feel seen and supported.

About

More about me

I've been all about design for as long as I can remember. Outside work, I'm obsessed with dancing (Brazilian styles), interiors and my dog. I'm endlessly fascinated with human psychology and how digital tools shape the way we think, work and live.

My Experiences

I've had the pleasure of working with companies across a variety of industries. I'm always interested in new, exciting challenges.
