Johanno Hess – Senior Art Direc­tor and Graphic Designer.
Based in Frank­furt and Offen­bach, Ger­many.

I cre­ate in mul­ti­ple graphic design dis­ci­plines, work­ing on print mate­ri­als and their exten­sions into dig­i­tal spaces, com­bin­ing a strong sense of aes­thet­ics with a solid foun­da­tion of prac­ti­cal experience.

Early in my career, I got into spatial communication. With exper­tise rang­ing from art direc­tion to final art­work, I approach design from the con­cep­tual idea to real­iza­tion. Cre­at­ing an emo­tional spatial experience through a holis­tic graphic lan­guage and typog­ra­phy.

Whether print, dig­i­tal, or spatial design, well-crafted typog­ra­phy makes the dif­fer­ence.

My pas­sion for design goes beyond com­mer­cial projects. Inspired by skate­board art and design, books, and mag­a­zines, I thrive on work­ing with cre­ative projects – as show­cased in the drive sec­tion.

I look for­ward to con­tribut­ing my cre­ativ­ity and exper­tise to your project.

Have a big­ger project in mind?

I have a well-estab­lished net­work of spe­cial­ists in ana­log and dig­i­tal design, archi­tec­ture, and project management. Together, with this inter­dis­ci­pli­nary team, we bring your vision to life and deliver tai­lored solu­tions.
