My name is Alex Hanke; I am a designer and printmaker in the field of illustration and graphic design. Some years ago, I was born in the wild lands of East Germany. Early, I discovered how to eat a yummy pencil and what to do with funny stuff like paper and walls. So I started working for different clients in early 1998, long before I moved out to Cologne and afterward to the small city of Hildesheim to graduate in Corporate Design in 2008. In the same year, I established the label “Zum Heimathafen” to separate my art-driven mind from the day-to-day graphic design job. At the moment, I’m working as a freelance artist and creating posters, shirts, and flyers as well as Corporate Design and packaging solutions for clients around the world. So feel free to drop me a line to get more information about the little empire.

Take care!
