About Martin Heßmann

My name is Martin Heßmann and I have been living in Berlin for 10 years, together with my daughter Elena. Since my graduation in communication design in the summer of 2014 at htw Berlin, I have been working as a graphic and product designer at Ape Unit, a design studio in Berlin Kreuzberg.

I enjoy the conceptual work on digital projects when I feel that I am creating real value for my clients and the users of my products. Every day I explore new methods of the design process, as well as the many possibilities of perception and presentation of my work and the critical exchange with other people.

But I also find the same patterns and principles in other areas of my life – inspiring and challenging me: I love to cook, to experience fashion, to meet new people through the Berlin music scene, and to try to share this energy and happiness with other people.
Mein Name ist Martin Heßmann und ich lebe seit 10 Jahren zusammen mit meiner Tochter Elena in Berlin, wo ich meine Kreativität auf verschiedene Art und Weisen ausleben kann. Seit meinem Abschluss im Sommer 2014 im Fach Kommunikationsdesign an der htw Berlin, arbeite ich als Grafik- und Produktdesigner im Designbüro Ape Unit in Berlin Kreuzberg.

Die konzeptionelle Arbeit an digitalen Projekten erfüllt mich, wenn ich spüre, dass ich wirklichen Mehrwert für meine Auftraggeber und die Nutzer meiner Produkte schaffe. Dabei entdecke ich täglich neue Methoden des Designprozesses, sowie Möglichkeiten der Wahrnehmung und Präsentation meiner Arbeit und der kritische Austausch mit anderen Menschen.

Darüber hinaus entdecke ich die gleichen Muster und Prinzipien in anderen Bereichen meines Lebens, die mich inspirieren und herausfordern: Ich koche leidenschaftlich gerne, erlebe liebend gern, was Mode mit Menschen machen kann, habe viele großartige Menschen durch die Berliner Musikszene kennengelernt und versuche all die Energie und die glücklichen Erfahrungen mit anderen Menschen zu teilen.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
