About Hannah D.

I am Hannah, a freelance graphic designer from Rostock. Introverted, empathetic, attentive, and passionate about all things design. I want to support my clients in making ideas visible, telling stories with design, and solving problems.

If you're looking for beautiful design with substance, you've come to the right place. For me, design is more than just making ideas visible – it has a real impact on our present and future. Inspired by the idea that design serves to make things understandable, usable, accessible, and appealing, I support my clients with attention to detail in designing books, print materials, websites, and business stationery in a way that their message is conveyed clearly and convincingly.

    The challenge with this extensive hotel guide was to organize the enormous amount of information clearly. I managed the project completely independently and served as the client's dedicated point of contact, providing both consulting and design support. The result is a professional book package from a single source that works across all channels and is easily accessible.

    October 2023 - December 2023 (2 months)
    For the book 'Seelenfiguren und Seelenheilung - Ermutigendes aus der psychotherapeutischen Arbeit' (Soul Figures and Soul Healing - Encouragement from Psychotherapeutic Work), I designed a total of 457 pages, with the aim that the different aspects in the text, such as various highlights, quotes, and exercises contained in the book, would stand out well and create a harmonious overall impression. Playful accents in individual chapters break up the strict layout and lighten it. The format of the book is 17 x 24 cm.

    For distribution via Amazon KDP, I also formatted and prepared the book as a paperback and hardcover version.

Fachbuch mit 612 Seiten - Hotelmarketing Gruppe GmbH

Reviewed on 1/6/2026

The collaboration with Hannah Mertens on the implementation of my non-fiction book 'Hybrid Hotelmarketing' was convincing in every respect. Within two months, she professionally, reliably, and with a high level of design quality, realized a 612-page work with over 80 images and infographics. Hannah works quickly, is proactive, and distills complex content clearly and with high quality. The coordination was uncomplicated and efficient, and the collaboration was very pleasant on a human level. A clear recommendation. Patrick G. Rueff, Hotelmaker.de
