Dutch Graphic Roots presents a new article about graphic designer Henk van Assen.
Henk van Assen was born on a houseboat in Hattem, Gelderland, The Netherlands, in 1961. He has lived and worked in the United States since 1991 where he has developed a well-respected practice for predominantly cultural clients and works on a range of design projects, from books to brand identity to print to physical spaces to screen.
In 1999, Henk moved back to New York after accepting a position to teach in the graphic design program at Yale. The program is still considered one of the leading design programs in the US. In those days, Henk was splitting his time between New York and New Haven, working out of his East Village apartment in Manhattan while teaching at Yale. In 2004, Henk moved his studio to DUMBO, Brooklyn where it has been ever since, operating finally as HvADesign.
