COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
Hannam Design exists to "engage in relationships and impact people’s lives" through the work of design and construction. This is also the personal heartbeat of owner Megan Hannam. Professionally and personally, she believes in the power that community and relationships provide and feels together they create vast opportunity. This is why she is eager to support and give back, because so many have done that for her. Megan takes a holistic approach to her work, and while far from perfect and often failing, she still works hard to find a healthy mind, body, spirit balance. These values are core to fulfilling her passion and the mission of Hannam Design. In gratitude with all she has experienced though her work, her clients, their projects, and our beautiful community she hopes to give back, encourage, partner or support others through various ways, some highlighted below. Please considering joining in further support or interest. If you have an organization or project that aligns, please reach out to Hannam Design.
