Toast & Tiger was built on a simple belief: that the best design happens when cultural intelligence and craft excellence occupy the same room.
As Founder and Creative Director of this woman-owned creative tech agency in Washington, D.C., Hannah leads a team of specialists in UX design, brand strategy, and communications — delivering high-impact design solutions for organizations across technology, science, government, and emerging AI markets.
With 25 years of experience in creative direction, brand strategy, and UX design, she has guided projects from concept to launch — including AI-powered SaaS platforms that blend advanced automation with user-centered design. Her work builds cohesive digital products, brand systems, and marketing collateral that align design excellence with business strategy.
Cultural fluency isn't a feature Toast & Tiger offers. It's how they think. Whether translating a federal agency's mission into accessible public-facing design, helping a small business find its voice, or crafting a brand identity that works across languages and communities — the standard is always the same: rigorous, grounded, and built to last.
That standard begins with foundational training. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Hannah came up through one of the most rigorous creative programs in the world — where craft was non-negotiable, concept was everything, and the relationship between form and meaning was treated as serious work. That education shaped not just how she designs, but how she leads, listens, and builds lasting relationships with every client the studio serves. Design, at its best, is an act of connection — and that belief drives everything Toast & Tiger makes.
Clients span government, life sciences, media, education, and policy — including the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Essential Software LLC, Verizon Communications, Weill Cornell Medical School, Genesis Engineering Solutions, Adjacent Possible, Mathematica Policy, National Association of Broadcasters, New America, Rivendell Institute at Yale University, History Factory, Covenant Life School, and Ennis Legacy Partners.
Toast & Tiger doesn't just design. They make complex things feel human.
