Hannah's comics started off and continue to be a visual diary of her life. In her interview with Forbes, the artist mentioned that she comes from an artistic family and all those creative examples had an impact on her life, pursuing a career as an artist. "Watching others create makes creating less daunting."

The artist has been drawing since she was little. She remembers sitting by a big wooden desk in front of a window at her grandma's house and drawing with her dad or his sisters.

Hannah's Instagram journey began in 2014 when she started posting a drawing every day. In 2016 she started uploading her first 4-panel comics. "It was grueling and included a lot of late nights and a carpal tunnel diagnosis, but I saw it through and it was ultimately one of the best things I could have done. I gained a lot of confidence in myself and my humor, and started seeing what I did as something legitimate."

Hannah likes drawing comics and loves it when they make people laugh. For her, it's kind of like a diary illustrating some parts of her life that other people can relate to as well. "What I’ve learned from putting it all out there is that I’m far less strange and alone than I thought I was and that we’re all struggling constantly and we can find a solace knowing that everything is absurd but that we’re in it together."
