About

Hello! I’m François Harik, a multidisciplinary design professional with over two decades of experience leading creative teams and shaping brand identities across TV, media, and education. I enjoy turning complex ideas into visually engaging experiences, blending branding, motion design, and instructional design to help organizations tell their stories clearly.

Based in Switzerland, I work as a Learning Designer at EHL and as a freelance Creative Director, collaborating with universities and media houses to deliver compelling design solutions. I love mentoring teams, building scalable design processes, and exploring new tools to push the boundaries of storytelling through visuals.
