Background

About Ryan Mills

I’m a senior digital consultant with 17+ years of experience helping creative businesses bring clarity to complex digital challenges. From e-commerce design and builds to composable architecture design, I work at the intersection of strategy, technology, and creativity. Currently, I am a Staff Content Operations Architect at Sanity. Previously, I co-founded and led Patron Studio, a digital design and development agency specialising in eCommerce, customer experience, and composable content solutions. Today, I work independently with ambitious founders and creative teams who value clarity, creativity, and honest collaboration. With a blend of hands-on experience and strategic thinking, I help brands grow with purpose. Whether scaling fashion and lifestyle eCommerce brands or partnering with creative studios and agencies, I specialise in uncovering untapped value, connecting the dots and turning smart ideas into measurable results. My background spans both agency leadership and consulting across digital strategy, digital marketing, and technical design and development with a particular focus on headless builds and composable content system design. Equally comfortable in the detail or steering the bigger picture, I support everything from one-off projects to long-term digital roadmaps. London-based. Collaborating globally.
