hello.
I am Thomas. I’m am an inter-disciplinary product designer, a creative strategist and a working artist. I make the things that drive emotions, build memories and solve problems...
...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, GA before making my home (and office) in Seattle. I am a conservationist (BS in marine biology), a problem solver (AAA in animation/graphic design) and intuitive leader (MC in digital media). I am proficient in English, German and French.
A twenty-year culmination of staging the fourth wall (in-game player interface), visualizing enterprise customer communications, helping brands discover their identities, and a healthy affinity for all things science-fiction, define me as a product designer. My experience enabled me to tell stories for the likes of Microsoft, Disney and Amazon. Currently, I am a Lead UX Designer with the Office of Cybersecurity at the Home Depot in Atlanta, GA.
