Ole Häntzschel is a Berlin-based graphic-designer and illustrator, specialised in information graphics.
In his practice he communicates complex data in a visually engaging way. He often works together with journalists and through his illustrations complicated matters become accessible.
His mission is the unmasking of little-known facts and inconvenient truths through graphics, something that he feels has never been more relevant considering the current climate of post truth politics. Häntzschel works for numerous German and international news outlets, papers, magazines, for exhibitions and the web. His work has been awarded various prizes amongst them the Malofiej award. He teaches regularly and holds workshops at universities.
