What is Zum Heimathafen?

It’s a creative business based in Hamburg. If you think it’s a we, than yeah maybe but as well no. I’m specialized in illustration, print and packaging design. I can also say „we“ because I either work for agencies in a team or for direct clients, so we are the team. And we create things for the love of good design.

My name is Alex Hanke, I am a designer and print maker 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 back in the early days of 1998, long before I moved out to Cologne and afterwards 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 or flyers as well as Corporate Design and packaging solutions for clients arround the world. So feel free to drop me a line to get more information about the little empire.

Take care!
