About Jim Hannon-Tan Design
Studio
Driven by the challenge of multifaceted problems, we blend industrial design, digital innovation, and user experience to create transformative products and experiences.
Jim Hannon-Tan
Jim Hannon-Tan’s design style and viewpoint have been shaped by a diversity of inputs and ideas. Born in Spain, he grew up with Asian influences in multicultural Australia before moving to Europe to hone his skills in Milan, London and Amsterdam over the course of 15 years. Inspired by the convergence of art and technology, his creative base is now back in Australia, where he has established a studio built on local roots and a global vision.
