About Gareth Emery
Head of Design at Benifex
Hi! I'm Gareth! 👋🏼
I'm a highly experienced multi-disciplinary designer with over 18 years of diverse experience. Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including agencies, in-house teams, B2B, B2C, startup, and SaaS. My extensive knowledge spans across e-commerce, marketing, branding, packaging and product design.
Over the past 8 years, I have led the design creation of three groundbreaking digital products: a data-driven digital marketing platform, a sophisticated product information management system (PIM), and a global benefits & total rewards platform. As part of my accomplishments, I have successfully established and led three dynamic design teams and implemented three design systems. Moreover, my contributions have extended to playing a pivotal role in the complete rebranding of three Global, three Scandinavian, and numerous 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.
