Hannah Chelsea May Duran

I am Hannah Chelsea May Cortes Duran, a Master’s student in Graphic Communication at Nottingham Trent University, with a background as a Senior Art Director at TBWA Philippines. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and emerging media—creating disruptive ideas that connect in meaningful, culturally relevant ways. I’m particularly interested in commercial art direction and interactive experiences that turn passive audiences into active participants. Alongside my design practice, I’m also a singer-songwriter, using music as another form of creative expression—giving me the best of both worlds between visual and emotional communication. My recent work, The Art of Saving, won second place at the NTU Creative Changemakers competition in 2026. I’m driven by the belief that design should not only capture attention but create lasting impact—and I aim to build work that does both.
