About

Hi! I'm Gareth! 👋🏼

A multi-disciplinary design leader with over 18 years of diverse experience. My extensive knowledge spans across e-commerce, marketing, branding, packaging and product design. Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including agencies, in-house teams, B2B, B2C, startup, and SaaS.

Career highlights include:
- Leading the design creation of two groundbreaking digital products: a data-driven marketing platform and a sophisticated product information management system (PIM)
- Establishing and managing three dynamic design teams and implementing three design systems
- Driving rebranding initiatives for multiple global, Scandinavian, and local companies

As a board member of Malmö Design Network, I am proud to be part of an initiative led by design professionals for design professionals in Southern Sweden. Our focus is on fostering creativity and collaboration within the design community. We organise monthly design salons featuring inspiring guest speakers, engaging design drinks to facilitate networking, and host our own podcast, "Malmö Design Minds."

My dedication lies in delivering innovative design solutions that not only drive business growth but also leave a lasting impact. By combining my design expertise with my interests in sustainability and technology, I strive to create memorable experiences that align with the values of responsible and eco-conscious practices.

If you’re interested in design, leadership, technology, or sustainability, let’s connect!

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

He probably doesn't realize it, but Gareth has made an incredible impact on my life (in the most amazing way)! Gareth has created a safe space for me to explore new ideas, not be afraid of failing, and grow into the next season of my life. Simply his ability to cultivate this space has encouraged me to take the next step, and then the next, and then the next... I am incredibly grateful for this mentorship as it has given me a different perspective on what it is to be a designer. If you're considering Gareth as a your new mentor, buckle up, because you're not ready for the amount of growth you'll experience alongside his support and insight-giving!

Gareth has been my mentor for almost 2 full months now. He is caring, genuine, and professional. He has helped guide me in my professional development journey through the use of active listening, sharing his own experience/advice, and using motivational interviewing skills to encourage me to critically think about my own challenges. 10/10 would recommend Gareth to anyone who is self-aware, able to ask great questions, and ambitious!

I needed mentorship to help me understand how can I progress in my career and also someone to spar with and help me move forward regarding jobs. Garreth has given me great input and insights on all matters and his years of experience shows.
