Designer based in New York City.

Hi, I’m Thomas a digital designer by trade with 10+ years of experience enhancing web & product experiences for mission-driven, high-growth brands & organizations.

About me

Raised in Manhattan with roots in the Midwest. I graduated from Bard College with a degree in Fine Art, and have made my career in commercial art. I guess you could say that I carry something of a dual perspective that continues to shape how I approach the world and my work.

Over the past decade, I’ve led cross-functional creative teams within agency settings—evolving brand systems, migrating platforms, and crafting design systems to deliver premium digital experiences. My clients have ranged from government agencies and nonprofits to fast-moving e-commerce brands.

I began in print design before transitioning into UX and interface design, a journey that sharpened my curiosity, adaptability, and initiative—qualities I bring to every project, professionally and personally.

Words from others...

"Thomas worked at Verbal+Visual for over 7 years, growing from a UX Designer into our Creative Director, and eventually into a Partner at the agency. During his tenure, the agency grew from a 5 person agency into a 45 person agency, and the Creative department from one all the way up to a team of nine.

Thomas' biggest strengths are his openness and desire to tackle creative problems and drive towards creative solutions with a cross-functional mindset, partnering with developers, product, and pm's to ensure high quality results for our clients.

In addition, Thomas is an exemplary team player, always bringing people together and ensuring that the environment is one of openness and transparency for all involved, all in pursuit of a high quality result."

Anshey Bhatia, CEO & Founder

"Thomas has an incredible ability to educate cross-functional teams on the power of design. He served as an exceptional mentor and coach to the team. He can seamlessly go from presenting to CEOs to discussing the minute details of implementation with engineers."
