Hanna Kate Johnson is an Orange County, California native whose sunshine-filled energy perfectly reflects the laid-back yet driven spirit of coastal Southern California.
Born and raised where the ocean meets an endlessly creative lifestyle, Hanna has always been someone who balances ambition with warmth, bringing a bubbly and caring presence into everything she does. Her roots and current life in Orange County keep her grounded, inspired, and constantly surrounded by beauty and creativity.
From a very young age, Hanna knew she wanted to be an actress, a dream she has carried with her throughout every stage of her life. That childhood vision grew into a deep passion for the performing arts, one she continues to pursue with unwavering dedication. Whether she’s in acting classes, auditioning daily, or collaborating creatively with brands, Hanna approaches her career with a strong work ethic and genuine love for storytelling and self-expression.
When she’s not working, Hanna’s free time is filled with things that bring her peace and joy. She owns two horses and spends countless hours riding and spending time at the barn, a space she considers her second home. She’s also an avid reader, and she shares her love of reading through TikTok videos where she talks all things books. Running, working out, and spending time outdoors round out her lifestyle, making movement and nature an essential part of her daily routine.
Hanna has been a part of the Nalu Bay Swimwear family for over a year, and what keeps her most connected to the brand is the powerful sense of community it fosters. Being a Nalu Babe means being surrounded by beautiful, positive, and uplifting women who truly support one another. That shared energy and encouragement is something Hanna deeply values and feels proud to be part of, especially as the brand continues to grow and bring women together.
Inspired by multi-faceted and classy women, Hanna looks up to figures like Emma Watson and Margot Robbie, women who seamlessly balance acting with entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and creative control. Their ability to be both artists and businesswomen mirrors Hanna’s own dreams of building a career that is expansive, impactful, and deeply personal. It’s this inspiration that fuels her desire to never limit herself to just one path.
One of Hanna’s biggest accomplishments to date is launching her own brand, Blush Hour, a dreamy clothing and lifestyle brand specializing in pajamas, lingerie, accessories, and all things girly. The brand is a true labor of love, built through months of research, planning, and intention. Hanna credits Nalu Bay Swimwear founder Jennifer Berta for being a constant source of support and guidance throughout the process, helping her navigate entrepreneurship and believe in her vision every step of the way.
Looking toward the future, Hanna sees herself continuing to model, act, and collaborate creatively with brands while growing Blush Hour into a beloved lifestyle brand. She hopes to show younger women that success doesn’t come from playing it safe, but from taking risks, making mistakes, and continuing forward even when things get hard.
