Hi, I’m Hannah Constandse!
I am a Mechanical Engineer and Product Designer, passionate for going deep into the details with acuity. My background in design and innovation strategy helps me craft out-of-the box solutions to complex engineering problems. I get energy from working with others and value gathering the different perspectives we have on a single problem. I fall back on my fundamentals in statics, thermals, and fluids to inform important design decisions. It inspires me to create products that bring people joy all over the world.
I hold a B.S. in Product Design Engineering from Stanford University, where I also earned two National Championships as a member of the Women’s Water Polo Team. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford, focusing on manufacturing processes and bringing products from concept to final product through fabrication in the Product Realization Lab.
