Hannah Bauhoff
Hannah Bauhoff initiated and founded the international network of design journalists in 2009. The 44-year-old Meisterschülerin of the Berlin Weissensee School of Art studied design, architecture and culture management at the Werkbund Werkstatt and at art colleges in Germany and France. Since completing her diploma, she has been working as a freelance journalist and a (chief) editor for German architecture and design magazines. In parallel, she carries on research in design, consults international companies in matters of design mediation and communication analysis – and teaches at art colleges and vocational colleges. In 2013, she was appointed to the jury of the Saxon State Prize for Design 2014 and 2016 and as a member of the jury of the Deutsche Designer Club (DDC) for the competition “Gute Gestaltung”.
Hannah lives and works near Kiel.

MADE
2011 suchte die Heinze GmbH ein Konzept, um Architekten und Designer zeitgemäß anzusprechen – abseits der bislang bau(stoff)orientierten Publikationen und Produkte des Unternehmens. Mit diesem Auftrag konzipierte Hannah Bauhoff das Architektur- und Designmagazin MADE und bildete mit den beiden Journalistinnen Katja Neumann und Eva Steidl die Redaktionsleitung. Gemeinsam formten sie das Konzept und finalisierten die visuelle und inhaltliche Ausrichtung des Print-Formats: MADE richtete sich auf 86 Seiten mit Interviews, exklusiven Porträt-Strecken, Illustrationen junger Grafiker und Kolumnen aus bekannten Federn vierteljährlich an über 20.000 Meinungsbildner der Design- und Architekturszene aus dem Abonnentenkreis von Heinze. Das positive Feedback im Rahmen einer Umfrage zu dem Heft zeigte, dass das inhaltliche Ziel, unterhaltend und hintergründig Einblicke in die Design- und Architekturwelt zu geben, bei den Lesern ankam. Für das Entwicklungsteam ist das Projekt beendet. Hier zu sehen:
