A little about work me
Currently working as a FTE Lead Design Engineer for Apple in Seattle, WA.
Hey! I'm Thomas
I'm a full-stack designer currently camouflaged somewhere in the evergreen state of WashingtonPNW. My creative journey began with an Associate's in Acrylic Painting, but realizing that starving artist wasn't a great family plan, I pivoted to study Graphic and Web Design in Denver. This blend of fine arts and digital design laid the foundation for my true calling: crafting intentional and meaningful user experiences.
Today, I pride myself on being a UX enthusiast with a toolkit spanning user research, usability testing, and collaborative design systems. I've built a depth of experience over my career across a diverse range of industries, from apparel to healthcare, banking to tech. Whether it's a Fortune 500 giant or a day-zero startup, I bring a palette of experience to paint intuitive, delightful experiences for users. I believe in utilizing a collaborative design approach with users, giving them a real voice in the solution. Reach out, and let's create some magic together!🪄✨🎨
A little about 'outside of work me'
When I'm not at a screen, you might catch me: ♠️ bluffing at a Texas Hold'em table in Vegas, cheering for the🏈Broncos or Seahawks in full face paint 🤖 geeking out over the latest in AI/LLMs, pondering our new information-driven future,✈️or traveling the world for fresh perspectives and creative fuel.
What others say about my work
Thomas is truly a worker that loves his craft. I've seen him work harder than those hungry first year career employees, despite the fact that he has nothing to prove. I would highly recommend him in any role knowing fully that he will rise to the occasion, and enjoy every moment of it.
