Hanna Nelson majored in English Literature at the University of California at Santa Cruz where she first met Dan Heller, Mush's creator. After graduating, she went into Technical Writing (mostly to prove to everyone that you can make a decent living with a Liberal Arts degree). She currently works at the Santa Cruz Operations, Inc. (aka SCO Group), documenting operating system software, where she uses Mush to manage her mail.
In her free time (what's that?), she like to read (20th Century fiction), write (anything but technical documentation), study film and feminism, promote transportation alternatives and ride her custom-built purple-striped bicycle.
