About

I’m a designer from the Midwest with a passion for service-oriented design.

As an experienced product designer, my approach is rooted in a service-oriented perspective, viewing each product as a tool to help solve user problems, which is the ultimate goal. My interests extend to systems thinking, team topologies, and management theory, where I explore how these elements interconnect as a way to enhance our work and lives.

Music holds a significant place in my life too, serving as a creative outlet and a source of inspiration, whether I'm listening to or creating music. At the heart of everything is my family, as one of the things I value most is spending time with my wife and two kids.

My approach

Service-Oriented Design Mindset

Product design should focus on solving customer problems with a service-oriented approach. Central to this approach is understanding user needs through research to create intuitive and easy-to-use products with clear information organization.

Strategic Design-Business Integration

My design philosophy focuses on addressing challenges within set boundaries to create solutions that both satisfy customers and enhance business value. This strategic integration is crucial for harmonizing financial and customer satisfaction goals.

Innovation-Driven UX

Product design should focus on understanding and addressing customer needs while embracing innovation to create unique and effective user experiences that support the company's strategic objectives.

Data-Informed Design Evaluation

Success in design is measured through a comprehensive analysis of metrics and user feedback. This data-driven approach ensures that design decisions are informed, impactful, and continuously optimized to meet evolving user needs and business goals.

Testimonials

What sets Thomas apart isn't just his knack for design but his ability to stay user-focused and suggest new ways to find supporting data and details that otherwise may go unnoticed. I'd highly recommend him if you're looking for someone to bring both innovation and positivity to your team.

Product Strategist

Wanda Valentino

I would wholeheartedly endorse him as a product designer because his work was invaluable to shipping projects on time and was very easy to work with. Collaborating with Thomas was such a great experience that I was actually excited every time that I had a question about the UI or UX and I knew I’d get to talk with him. From the smallest questions to large suggestions, Thomas was always interested in hearing what we had to say.

Senior Software Engineer

Avi Turkewitz

Thomas is a truly delightful human to work alongside. As an Engineering Manager, my team only ever had positive things to say about working with him. He does a great job of building his understanding of what we can/cannot do and then iterating as we go. We worked together to gather more information about our user based through usability studies. During these interviews Thomas asked great questions and made users feel seen, heard, and appreciated. If I had the chance I would definitely work with Thomas again in the future.
