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.
