We are delighted to introduce the newest member of our design family, Hannah Cundiff! Hannah joins us as an Intern, bringing a passion for art and a fresh perspective to our studio!
A Passion for Design
Hannah’s journey into the world of design was sparked at a young age while watching HGTV. This early exposure, combined with a lifelong interest in art, fueled her desire to create beautiful and functional spaces for people to enjoy. Currently a rising senior at James Madison University (JMU) pursuing a BFA in Architectural Design, Hannah is eager to dive into the professional world and learn everything that architecture offices have to offer. She is particularly focused on strengthening her digital skills and gaining experience working directly with clients as she prepares for her senior thesis.
Roots in Roanoke
Hannah calls Roanoke, Virginia home. She is a proud local who enjoys sharing fun facts about her hometown—did you know the iconic star on Mill Mountain stands 88 feet tall? Her path to architecture also includes a background in the service industry; her very first job was as a Sales Associate at Rack Room Shoes.
Off the Clock
When she isn’t in the studio or the classroom, Hannah enjoys a variety of hobbies to unwind. You can often find her playing video games like Animal Crossing or Minecraft, reading, or hanging out with her roommates. She is also a fan of Superstore, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games.
Hannah is very family-oriented and loves spending time with her mom, dad, and little brother.
