Available to hire
I’m Harald Weber, a multidisciplinary designer and art director with a long-standing practice rooted in Vienna and beyond. Since 1973 I have been blending design, direction, and conceptualisation for my own brand and for clients across publishing, branding, and advertising worldwide. I aim to make each project more beautiful and, at the same time, remove clutter to reveal clarity.
My work covers branding, editorial design, typography, and digital experiences. I leverage AI tools, 3D, and leading design platforms to tell stories with impact while maintaining a human, friendly touch. I collaborates with teams and individuals to shape visual language that resonates and endures.
