HELLO I'M HANNAH..

AND WELCOME TO RISE AND SHINE

About Me

Hello! My name is Hannah and I offer online creative and coaching services to help small businesses and sole traders set up online. I graduated with a degree in Media Studies in 2014 and have since gained professional experience in video editing, events management, project management and small-business development.

I have gradually been building my own client base, offering design services, technical advice and assistance on a casual basis. Since the pandemic hit, this has grown and I decided to launch my business officially. It's so easy when you know how! I am currently based in Manchester but I work remotely so wherever you are in the world please don't hesitate to get in touch.

My Story

On paper, the system always worked for me. A model pupil at school and college, I graduated from university with a good degree and immediately got a job I wanted. I didn’t expect to feel excited about work, it was just something you had to do but, before long, I began to feel cheated, trapped. So I ran away. I bought a one-way ticket to Asia, where I worked and travelled for three years, experiencing freedom I didn’t know was possible. I had never believed people who said they enjoyed their jobs but I began to see other possible ways to live and work.

I came back, of course, as I always knew I would, soon slipping back into a nice, safe job. The future loomed ahead and I didn’t like the look of it. I was right back where I’d started, in a world that didn’t make sense to me, doing something I couldn’t see the point of.

I want to share what I have learned with others, charging a fair price for what I can offer and equipping people with the skills they need to do the same.

We spend a third of our lives working and I decided that I wanted to spend mine doing something I believed in, something that I genuinely loved doing, on my own terms. I took a long time to re-learn what I loved, what I was passionate about and I am still learning. Though now I am where I want to be, living my free life and doing exactly what I want to do.

I found an alternative, ethical way to do business. And I support others in doing the same. I want to share what I have learned with others, charging a fair price for what I can offer and equipping people with the skills they need to do the same.

I don’t settle, I don’t do things because I have to. I show up exactly as I am and no-one else can do that, so there is no competition. I want to help create a fair, authentic and free world. I want to live my life in a way that matters, building good relationships with other people and other business that are based in trust and generosity of spirit.

We aren’t confined and we are free to handpick our lives and create a life we love. All we need to do is to simply choose it.
