Hannah Liongoren

Hannah Liongoren is a Filipina designer, illustrator, and educator whose work explores the intersections of graphic design, exhibition design, and storytelling. She focuses on making marginalized histories accessible through visual and spatial narratives, with a commitment to decolonial and community-centered design. Hannah holds an MDes in Interior Architecture (Adaptive Reuse) from RISD.

At RISD, she co-designed and taught The Future of Wildlife Exhibition, an advanced studio centered on imagining new ways of exhibiting wildlife without captivity, using technology as a storytelling tool. Her exhibition work includes projects for the Queens Museum, the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, and consulting for a natural history museum in the Middle East.

Based in Providence since 2017, Hannah’s practice is deeply informed by her diasporic experience and a dedication to accessible, sustainable design futures. She frequently travels back to the Philippines to care for her family’s legacy art gallery, which holds a collection of over 1,700 works of Philippine art spanning several decades.
