About this service

Summary

Hi! I'm Tom. I've been designing cross-platform experiences for the past 5 years. I'm very skilled at keeping design systems simple, clear, and easy to implement for developers.

“Tom played an important role in the success of our healthcare app, delivering UX designs that consistently exceeded expectations. What set him apart was his ability to think beyond the immediate ask. He approached the project as if it were his own, ensuring every design decision aligned with our long-term vision. His strategic insights meant we never had to worry about unintended constraints on future innovations.”

— Nick Kerndt, Senior Director of Digital Strategy, Pathways.org

Process

The process varies but is typically as follows: 1. Discovery (a few meetings where I get to know the client, their goals, and the project)

2. Explorations (2-3 concepts for the UI emphasizing different ideas)

3. Design process (once we agree on a concept, we design the full app)

4. Handoff (I give the designs to the dev team or the client with specific documentation for the designs to ensure easy implementation)

The best part about working with Tom wasn’t just his deep understanding of UI/UX principles or his remarkable empathy for clients—it was how consistently he respected developers’ time throughout the process. He balanced creativity with practical solutions, simplified workflows and communication, and made sure we stayed on track without ever losing sight of creativity or what users truly needed.
