Per Osbeck

I’m a Brand & Creative Director with 25+ years of experience building global brands like Ericsson, Houdini Sportswear and Bentley Motors. I specialise in turning complex challenges into clear, consistent brand experiences - whether it’s leading rebrands, creating design systems or growing startups into international players.

Today, I help companies navigate the new era of AI-driven creativity, where strategy, identity and trust matter more than ever.
