The Creative Behind the Studio
Meet Hannah Houg
Hey, I'm Hannahโ€”and Meraki is my love letter to creativity, community, and content.
I've spent years as a creative director, content strategist, and on-camera talent, helping scale hundreds of e-commerce brands through authentic storytelling. With over $16M in ad spend driven by my creative work, I've seen firsthand how powerful the right environment can be for sparking ideas and building community.
But here's the thing: Chattanooga didn't have a space like this. A place that's accessible, inspiring, and designed for creators of all kinds. So I built it.
