portrait of Leo Mühlfeld

Leo Mühlfeld he/him

Vienna-based designer crafting clear, compelling narratives across media—from interactive exhibitions and film to animation, code, and spatial installations. I use design as a tool to connect disciplines, illuminate complex topics, and spark curiosity through research-driven, collaborative work.
