Time to say goodbye

Knut Hartmann - founder, creative mind, designer, friend and father.
Since its foundation in 1977, Knut Hartmann has headed our agency for around 40 years and has always been regarded as a pioneer in brand, product and packaging design. khdesign was one of the first specialized brand and packaging design agencies in Germany. 

His strong will, his creativity, his visionary thinking but above all his love of design drove him throughout his life. His ingenuity and extraordinary personality are an inspiration - then as now. 



Knut Hartmann passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on 04.08.2020. Our thoughts are with him, his family and his friends.

Looking to the future: Management changes at echd

Since November, there has been a change in the management at echd: Max and Lisa Wenzel have both decided to take a new direction and step down from the management of the agency. We would like to thank them both for seven years of passion, creativity and strategic development that have made echd what it is today.

Our success story will continue - with Nadine Hartmann, who will continue to lead the agency as Managing Director, and Paul Valentiner, who has been part of the management team since July 2024. Together, they have ambitious plans for the future:
➡ Expanding our offering beyond packaging
➡ The expansion of our “Future Media” department

We are particularly proud of what we have achieved together recently, such as the realignment of Dentinox, the modernization of the Chantré brand and our success at the German Design Award.

One thing remains clear to us: change is an opportunity to continue to grow. We look forward to writing the next chapters together with you and our great customers!
