Per Magnus Sköld
Building product development capability through design, strategy, and innovation.
I'm a Senior Industrial Designer with 22+ years of experience helping organizations turn ideas into successful products. I strengthen product development efforts by combining design, strategy, systems thinking, and hands-on execution. I'm also passionate about emerging technologies, exploring how AI can unlock new ways of thinking and creating.
My experience spans product design across many different fields, brand development, visual communication, design strategy, education, and process improvement. I enjoy connecting people, ideas, and capabilities to solve complex problems and build stronger product development organizations. Whether shaping a vision, developing a framework, or executing the details, I thrive at turning knowledge into action.
