Hansje Van Halem is a graphic designer who lives and works in Amsterdam where she also graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2003 with a BA in graphic design. I have always been fascinated by her use of geometric patterns, pen illustrations in combination with skills of traditional Dutch graphic design craftsmanship, a favorite of mine are the business stamps Halem did for TNT in 2007. read more
