Hi, welcome to my tech portfolio
I’m a Creative Leader with a background in Fashion and a future in Technology. After 15+ years directing design teams, I’ve transitioned into UX, Product Design, and Digital Experiences — blending research, storytelling, and strategy to craft human-centred, purposeful solutions.
I’m now looking for my first role in Tech, a place to grow, contribute, and apply creative leadership with a fresh UX perspective. My approach is hands-on yet empathetic: I guide teams by understanding how people work best, striking a balance between freedom and structure to support great outcomes. From launching brands and shaping creative direction to studying UX and Conscious Leadership at Hyper Island, I bring curiosity, creativity, and design thinking to every challenge. This new chapter is about leading with purpose, designing with intention, and creating ideas that make a real difference.

“I have co-worked with Ron for 6 years, as we were heading up each our Design departments at Tiger of Sweden. In my role as Head of the Women’s line, it has always been fun, inspirational and not least, a cool pleasure to work with Ron. With a strong knowledge and foundation of the men’s sartorial world of tailoring, I truly admire Ron’s strong vision, passion and elevation of the TOS Men’s signature. – The elevation of a sharp, tailored, masculine silhouette – The eye for refined details – The development and innovation of fabrics and textiles. We have had many great inspirations and work trips around the world. And on an everyday basis, discussing ideas in our office, in the creation of an aligned TOS signature. Brainstorming for the initial concepts and ideas until the finalisation at sales meetings, shows and PR presentations. Always a great Scottish laugh, a glimpse in the eye and plenty of dedication!
All the best, Mr Sartorial”
