my name is tom
Since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by computers, and more specifically by user experience. We’ve all felt that frustration when using a clunky, slow, or poorly designed interface. Those moments made me want to design digital products that truly serve people: intuitive, beautiful, and pleasant to use.
Some say UI is just pixels. To me, it’s alive.
I had the opportunity to contribute to Papillon, an educational app now used daily by hundreds of thousands of students. It was a real-world experience that pushed me to design at scale and test my ideas in the hands of actual users. You can read more about how I designed Papillon here.
I also share my projects and design thoughts on Twitter, where I’ve built a community of 2,000+ people around creativity and digital design.
I’m fluent in Figma, have foundations in HTML/CSS, and code with Svelte.
I’m also passionate about photography, video, and music, creative fields that fuel my visual and emotional sensitivity.
