I transform complex topics into engaging, beautiful learning experiences that spark inquiry and curiosity. I merge visual design expertise with years of experience as a classroom teacher, curriculum developer, and professional development facilitator.

Hana Zarea

Design meets education, at every level.

I guide students, professionals, and curious people towards meaningful learning through multimedia educational content and lessons, including graphics, video, and interactive practice. I apply my practical experience in pedagogical and adult learning theory with my visual design expertise to make learning immersive and complex ideas accessible.

Who I am

I am a designer and learner with a passion for sharing knowledge with others. I enjoy the messy process of learning and believe there's nothing more rewarding than learning something new. Whether it's learning a new fiber art, falling down a historical rabbit hole, or tinkering with a recipe, the mistakes and “aha” moments I experience along the way keep me going. That same curiosity is what drives everything I make.

What I bring

  • 🎨 Dual expertise in curriculum design + graphic communication
  • 📚 K-12 classroom experience with a focus on low-prep, standards-aligned materials
  • 🌍 Equity-first design approach for a diversity of learner needs
  • 📊 Iterative, reflective, and data-driven design process
  • 👩‍🏫 Experience with professional development, coaching, and instructor support

Let's learn
together.
