Hello 👋🏻 I'm Thomas, a full-stack designer located in Washington State. My journey began right out of high school when I started my career as a fine artist and abstract acrylic painter. After earning my Associate's Degree, I moved to Denver to study Graphic and Web Design at the Art Institute of Colorado. There, I learned the fundamentals of design, color theory, layout, typography, and more.
This experience laid the groundwork for my true passion: user experience and product design. Fast forward to today, and I have decades of hands-on experience in areas like user research, usability testing, and design systems. I've had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of companies, from Fortune 500s to startups, and across various industries like apparel, healthcare, banking, and technology, to name a few.
Outside of work, I'm a proud father of two wonderful girls who keep my life balanced and full of meaning. I cherish every free moment I get to spend with them. I'm also passionate about cooking and love to experiment with different cuisines.
When I'm not in the kitchen or spending time with my family, you might find me at a Texas Hold'em table in Vegas or cheering for the Broncos or Seahawks with my face fully painted. Travel is another passion of mine; it offers a fresh perspective and fuels my creativity. And because I believe life is a short ride, my motto is: Never Stop Learning.
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.

Thomas possessed excellent leadership skills as a project-manager, and as a colleague he was essential in excelling the project above and beyond the initial scope.
