Today I'm sitting down with Hana Abboud, the designer and founder behind Hana Abboud Bridal — a Metro Detroit studio known for customizable, semi-couture gowns that honor modesty, cultural heritage, and personal expression.

In this conversation, Hana shares:

  • The moment she realized bridal design was her path
  • The biggest challenges of scaling a luxury, designer-led brand
  • What she had to unlearn about money, pricing, and value
  • The emotional highs and lows of designing for brides
  • How the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program shaped her business
  • The mindset shifts fueling her next chapter — including national expansion and an eveningwear line

A focused, inspiring look at what it takes to design a brand — and a life — with intention.
