Graphic designer Hansje van Halem (1978) studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (NL) and gathered international recognition with her distinctive typography and geometric, almost psychedelic illustrations built on complex patterns. Van Halem digitally scratches, draws or weaves her letters and designs postages stamps, posters and books. Recently she made patterns, animations and spatial objects, including a border fence at the Dutch airport Schiphol.
