During the preschool years, Hannah begun to sew to order, though Oh, Buttons!, creating babywearing accessories and childrens clothing made for cloth bottoms. Whilst Oh, Buttons! was successful and Hannah enjoyed creating unique pieces, her love for sewing on paper and free motion embroidery that she had developed at university prompted her to begin exploring her artist practice. 

She begun creating gifts for friends and slowly took on commissions, working from photographs to create intricutely crafted works.
