Graphic Designer
Hannah brings creativity, collaboration, and a passion for storytelling to her role as Graphic Designer. Through thoughtful design, she helps bring the company’s mission to life. Hannah supports the marketing team by creating projects that educate, inform, and connect with the families and individuals we serve.
Hannah’s journey with Merkle Retirement Planning began as an intern while attending Iowa State University. As she continued working with the team throughout her senior year, she realized she had found a place where she could grow professionally while helping tell meaningful stories. After graduating from Iowa State University in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a minor in Advertising, Hannah joined the team full-time as a Graphic Designer.
What drew Hannah to Merkle Retirement Planning was the team’s dedication to the families and individuals it serves and the opportunity to be part of each family’s retirement journey. She enjoys the creative process, brainstorming ideas with teammates, and embracing opportunities to grow both professionally and personally.
Outside of work, Hannah enjoys spending time outdoors, whether hiking at Ledges State Park or relaxing at a lake. She also loves baking, a passion passed down from her grandmother, and enjoys sharing homemade treats with family, friends, and coworkers.
