I’m Irit Harel, highly experienced Independent graphic designer with 27 years of design expertise in the field of art and culture.
Specializing in the design of art books, catalogs, and unique art projects.
Proven track record in designing for galleries, cultural entities, businesses, and private clients, with a focus on capturing and translating unique visions into comprehensive designs.

My career journey began at the Israeli Broadcasting Authority’s Art Services Department, where I spent four years honing my skills in set design for television shows and feature films, alongside creating paintings, sculptures, and specialized accessories.
In my quest for growth, I delved into Visual Communication studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, gradually transitioning into an independent design role as I neared the completion of my academic journey.
My professional path led me to Italy, where I furthered my design experience before returning to Jerusalem to collaborate with various cultural institutions and actively participate in citywide campaigns and festivals.
Through extensive work with international galleries, I’ve managed significant budgets for diverse design and production projects, gaining expertise in large-scale print productions.
Notably, I’ve cultivated fruitful collaborations with Yair Medina – JFAP (Jerusalem Fine Art Prints), a renowned figure in artistic productions, enriching my understanding of artistic design and production processes.
In recent years, my focus has shifted towards designing art books, driven by my fascination with the journey I embark on with artists.
Immersing myself in their world, absorbing their perspectives, and translating their essence into visual form is a process that deeply inspires me.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of extensive collaboration with global artists, galleries, cultural institutions, organizations and various private custumers / businesses.
