About me
Hi, I’m Harald an Industrial Designer with over 15 years of experience.
Designer Vitae
My Story
I completed my studies as a product designer in 2009. Since then I have been working as a designer in several design agencies and enterprises.
During my studies I worked as an intern at the milanese design studio Attivo Creative (now Tatic design studio) which is working for enterprises like Salewa, Scubapro, Seacsub, Marker, Gardena and Emsa. I mainly worked on projects from the field of sporting goods, kitchen tools and gardening tools.
During my diploma I got in contact with MAN Trucks. As a trainee I started to generate ideas to optimize the drivers workplace. Some of my ideas were patented and realized.
For a few month I designed as a freelancer furniture for an Asian company, worked on medical design projects and domestic appliances.
After that I worked as an employee at the design agency Henssler & Schultheiss on projects for the „Fein GmbH“, „Endress & Hauser“ and „BYK Gardner“.
Since 2012 I’m working for the design agency loew design and have realized many products in the field of road constuction machinery, medical devices, tools and electronic devices.

My Approach
I am a creative and highly reliable problem solver, clear in articulating my design vision while remaining attentive to the needs of all stakeholders involved in the process.
My goal is to design products with meaning—clear in function, strong in identity, and relevant to the market.
For over 15 years, I have shaped brand‑defining design DNA for various companies through an efficient, standardized workflow, translating early ideas and sketches into high‑quality CAD solutions.
With a deep understanding of the different functional layers of design, I strive to create products that achieve a precise balance between functionality and emotion.

Beyond My Job
I am passionate about nature, sports, and music.
Cycling is one of my greatest passions and has been part of my life since early childhood. Over the past three years, I have embraced bikepacking, completing long-distance trips through the Pyrenees, Northern Italy, Southern France, and the Spanish Sierra Nevada.
As a dedicated sports climber for more than 20 years, I have explored numerous climbing crags across Europe. In doing so, I’ve discovered places that remain hidden to many travelers, for which I am very grateful.
I love making music an played in several bands. After decades of playing the guitar, I switched to drums six years ago, further expanding my musical creativity.
I’d love to work in your team and enrich it with my skills.
