Early life
Hart attended the University of California, Berkeley and graduated in May 2009 with two degrees; one in English literature and one in Japanese language. Upon her graduation, Hart moved to San Francisco to live with her best friend and 'Hannalyze This' Podcast co-host, Hannah Gelb. She later moved to Brooklyn, New York, to pursue a writing career. She ended up proofreading Japanese and English for a Manhattan-based translating firm instead of her initial dream of writing screenplays.
Career
2013: Hello Harto, No Filter, Camp Takota
On January 2, 2013, Hannah posted a video on YouTube stating that she was considering doing a world tour. She launched a campaign to fund this trip on Indiegogo, aiming to raise $50,000 within a month. After a couple of hours, the $50,000 goal had already been met. Hart decided to keep the funding going until her initial end date of February 2, 2013. Depending on the final amount of money, the tour would be expanded to Canada, Europe, and Australia. By February 2, she had raised over $220,000. The first leg of the tour kicked off in April 2013.
Hello Harto: The Tour Show consists of three parts: vlog, travel, and kitchen. Hart uploads various videos about her traveling experience on her second YouTube channel, YourHarto. The vlog (a recap of the city she is in) gets uploaded each Tuesday to her main channel, MyHarto. The kitchen episodes, which she films at a host's house in the city she visits, are uploaded on Thursday, also to her main channel. The team consists of four people, Hannah Hart (host), Pearl Wible (producer), Sam Molleur (director), and Nick Underwood (RV driver). The theme song for the tour, written by Hart, was accompanied by a video of fans jaunting in front of their favorite places. The song is called "Don't Wait To Say Hello".
After receiving negative feedback from a minority of fans that complained about the lack of places at the meet-ups, Hannah uploaded a video called The Real Hello Harto on her main channel, giving her fans an exclusive look behind the screens of a regular day on the Hello Harto tour. The video explained the work that goes into making content videos, as well as meeting up with fans all over Canada and the United States.
In November 2014, Hart started uploading more episodes of her travel show in Australia and New Zealand. These episodes were from a trip she took almost a year before that was sponsored by Contiki, along with other content creators.
On February 2, 2013, Hannah Hart performed a comedy show in collaboration with best friends Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart (no relation) at the NerdMelt, Los Angeles. The audience was encouraged to tape the show on their cameras and phones and upload it to social media websites with the tag #NoFilterShow. The show quickly gained popularity through Tumblr and YouTube. The 75-minute show was performed a second time at PlayList Live in March 2013. By this time, fans were generally demanding the show to go on tour - the trio decided to take #NoFilterShow on the road, syncing the tour dates with Hannah's Hello Harto. The #NoFilterShow returned for multiple more legs of shows, in August, October, and November 2014, and again in summer 2015. The show also ventured overseas to London and Dublin.
On August 2, 2013, Hart announced on the main stage at VidCon 2013 that she would be starring in her first feature film alongside friends Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart. The comedy film Camp Takota follows Elise (played by Grace) as a young woman who is forced to leave her big city job and head back to her old summer camp where she is reunited with old friends Allison (played by Hannah) and Maxine (played by Mamrie). The film, directed by Chris and Nick Riedell, began shooting in California on August 12, 2013. Michael Goldfine of Rockstream Studios produced the film along with eight others including Hart, Helbig and Mamrie who served as executive producers. The film's official trailer was released on December 24, 2013. Camp Takota was released via digital download on the movie's website on February 14, 2014. Netflix picked up the movie to be streamed on their platform on December 1, 2014.
2014–present: Further work
Hart wrote a memoir titled Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded. The book was released through HarperCollins Publishing on October 18, 2016. It debuted at #4 on the New York Times Best Sellers list in the print hardcover category.
On February 26, 2015, it was announced via various media outlets that Hart would co-star with Grace Helbig in a reboot of the 1970s Sid and Marty Krofft live-action science fiction children's television series Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.

On October 28, 2015, Hart announced that she, along with Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart, were making a movie that is being produced by Lions Gate Entertainment. The movie is called Dirty 30 and is about a house party gone wrong. The movie was released on September 23, 2016. The LA Times writer Katie Walsh writes, "In Dirty 30, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart, and Mamrie Hart showcase their rapid-fire, quippy personalities." She leads up to a first look deal with Lionsgate.
In June 2016, Hart was a guest judge for Season 12 of Food Network Star. Her television series, I Hart Food, premiered on August 14, 2017. Six shows featured Hannah tasting food in New Mexico, North Carolina, Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, and Montana.
In April 2019, it was announced that Hart would be hosting a new show with Ellen Digital Network, A Decent Proposal. The show airs on Ellen DeGeneres' EllenTube platform as well as on the 'TheEllenShow' YouTube channel.
In October 2019, Hart began a BuzzFeed Tasty video series called Edible History. Videos are uploaded weekly, in which Hart investigates and recreates ancient foods that are the basis of today's. Hart has recreated such recipes as the precursors of lasagna, croissants, burgers, and wonton soup.
Hart began streaming on Twitch in 2021, naming her channel "thishartomine".
