What you should know about the Human Empire
The human empire is a Hamburg based graphic design and illustration studio. It was started by Jan Kruse and Malte Kaune in 2003. In 2006 Wiebke Schultz joined the team and helped to establish an online shop and two local stores in Hamburg. Human Empire clients come from industries like fashion, music, art, culture, but also advertising and different other fields. The range of services we offer includes everything from visual identities, promotion, catalogues, sleeve design, web design, art-projects and exhibition designs.
