About
Hanna Mancini, known professionally as Hannakin, is a Melbourne-based illustrator, crafter, and creative artist. She has been drawing since she could hold a pencil and has always enjoyed constructing creatures and objects from available materials. In 2009, she completed a Diploma of Visual Arts, majoring in painting and drawing, while incorporating sewing and textiles into her practice. Shortly after graduating, she began selling her work at design markets, establishing the Hannakin label.
