About

Let’s get down to the details..

My name is Anna Hansohn and I am so happy you’re here! I am a Media Arts and Design student with a concentration in Creative Advertising and minoring in General Business. I’m planning to graduate in the Spring of 2025 from James Madison University. I love creating designs that are bright, inviting, and a joy to experience!

Designing fosters that sense of creativity that I have always tapped into since I was young. Now, my easy-bake oven and coloring books have turned into OOH advertisements and website redesigning! Outside of advertising, I am passionate about many things such as painting, reading, and overall wellness. You can always find me designing a new Pinterest board or at a country concert!
