Hannah Papa, NCIDQ, IIDA
ASSOCIATE
Savannah College of Art and Design / Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design
Hannah Papa, NCIDQ, IIDA, has been with the firm since 2015 bringing authentic solutions across typologies that enhance how we experience space. Her process is driven by the client relationship, exploring as partners the connection between interior design, the exterior envelope and the environment. Hannah seeks solutions that are responsive and resilient, considering with each project the economic, social, and environmental impact.
Her belief that design should support connection, community and curiosity further feeds her love for her city and the environment. This passion is seen in all aspects of her life. Hannah is an urban explorer who developed a love for intercultural learning, preservation, environmental stewardship and design early on as a child growing up in Anchorage Alaska. These experiences also fostered a resourcefulness that is seen in her commitment to creating thriving communities and reducing one’s environmental footprint. Hannah is a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design and studied abroad in France and alumni of New Memphis Embark, a program that empowers emerging professionals to grow as leaders in their pursuit of making a difference in Memphis.
An optimist by nature, Hannah’s energy is contagious. Fueled by the Memphis community (and its coffee!), she finds inspiration around every corner and channels that into her creative process.
