Hire Tom

Useful when a team needs someone who can think like a designer, build like a prototyper, and create systems that make the path clearer.

Strong fit

  • AI-native products and agentic workflows
  • Creator tools and complex authoring systems
  • 0 to 1 product exploration
  • Design roles that benefit from technical prototyping
  • Teams that need systems, not just screens

Less ideal

  • Brand-only roles
  • Visual production-only roles
  • Low-autonomy execution work
  • Maintenance work with little product ambiguity

Why

  • Industrial design background
  • Design manager experience
  • Agency experience
  • Philips physical and digital product work
  • Meta Reality Labs creator tools and AI systems
  • Production-fidelity prototypes and code contributions
