A SHORT BIO
Hey there. My name is David M. Hahn: a half asian, half art director, half designer, half workaholic. All those halves would make me two people; which sometimes I feel would be helpful with the amount of energy it takes to concept and craft equally to the extent that I prefer. Sometimes called a hybrid – I tend to consider myself a problem solver with a belief that every brand has the potential to inspire and move people. The trick is to find a compelling way to relay it.
Outside of work I’m usually getting into shenanigans with my two crazy kiddos, a wife [that’s clearly the ‘better half’]. We currently reside in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and have mastered not only lake life, but the art of the two-stage snowblower, too.
As long as it’s not sub-zero temps outside, I’m contemplating grilling out or smoking meats. I’m also a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs, Royals and Jayhawks fan – three-quarters of the year there’s a good chance I’m shouting in joy or anger at a TV screen. Lastly, I’m trying to learn braille (one of our sons is blind) but, in all honesty, it’s not going so well. 😅
