Established in 2020, Peel Design Co. was born out of my love for all things design—and my obsession with collaborating creatively with awesome people. My philosophy? If everything in the world has to be designed somehow, why not make it, well… uh-peeling? 🍌

So what’s with the name? I’m so glad you asked. With a name like Hannah, it only felt right that my lifelong nickname, “Hannah Banana” had its moment to shine. And yes, you guessed it: naming my business after a banana just felt perfectly on-brand for me. If you know me, you’re probably smiling right now thinking, “Yep, that tracks.”

If you’re here to get to know a little more about the person behind the pixels, I’m happy to spill the (yellow) tea. So, why design? Art and creativity have always been part of my DNA. Growing up, I was surrounded by creative energy, music, dance, movies, art, you name it. Those “creative juices” started flowing early and never stopped.

When I’m not designing, you can usually find me courtside—literally. I’ve spent eight seasons dancing for the Minnesota Timberwolves, five of those as Team Captain, and now I’m cheering them on from the sidelines as Assistant Coach. I’m also part of Shapeshift, a Minneapolis-based theatrical storytelling dance company that fuels my love for movement and creativity.

A few other fun facts about me:

• I’m an old-school Hip Hop girl through and through.

• My favorite color is, you guessed it, yellow.

• I’m an INFJ and an Aquarius, which basically means I’m equal parts dreamer and doer.

• And if you’re into strengths, my top five are Strategic, Empathetic, Achieving, Disciplined, and Deliberative (aka, I like to make things happen, but make them beautiful while I do it).
