Ever since Hanna Petersson was old enough to hold a pen, she has dedicated herself to a life of creativity. She has always loved to draw, to share stories, and to allow her ideas to flow freely through the world. When she was little, she would write fairy tales and create fantasy creatures from deep within her inventive mind; however, as she aged, her interests spanned into the everyday storytelling opportunities around her.
