hello.
I am Thomas. I’m a multi-faceted and versatile product designer, combining artistic creativity with technical expertise, offering a very multidimensional perspective to solving complex problems.
I tackle all the things, from maximizing design systems to streamlining project processes....
...one experience at a time.
I believe in the power of storytelling and am a strong advocate of clean, approachable design. Born and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, I have cultivated my narrative in Hamburg, St. Remy-de-Provence, Beirut, and Savannah, and 25+ years in Seattle before making my home (and office) in München, Germany. When not enthusiastically designing systems and processes to work efficiently and effectively, I have an affinity for reviving vintage toys, giving old cars a second chance and illustrating characters for children's books.
Currently, I am a Design Ops Specialist with the IT department at MAN Truck & Bus in Munich. I have 20+ years of design experience crafting user interfaces, dashboards and interactive applications, all while helping burgeoning designers in their careers along the way. I have a well-rounded skill set that includes branding, illustration, and web-flow development with a primary focus on building multi-brand design systems and product design.
