Susan Hassmann
Although Susan Hassmann has a degree in fashion design, her true passion remains illustration: her repertoire ranges from traditional analog drawing and painting to digital tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Procreate.
Susan has already implemented many beautiful projects, for example for Fol Epi and Schuback - here she provided the illustrations that were later animated by motion designers. A particular highlight of her career was the development of a visual language for Neckermann, in which she created the avatar "Kate", and a project with Breuninger that visually represented the department store's various services for their app. Since 2015, she has been illustrating the Beauty Queen series for BEAUTYtalk magazine, in which she accompanies editor-in-chief Daniela Jambrek's columns with illustrations. Susan's motifs create a consistent visual appearance that strengthens the identity of a brand or publication.
In addition to her work as an illustrator, Susan also has experience as a freelance lecturer at a youth art school. Here she develops and leads various workshops, from manga basics to illustration and sculptural design. Working closely with other lecturers and museum curators, particularly in developing concepts for student workshops on historical topics, Susan demonstrates her strength in translating complex ideas into tangible, visual formats.
