Hi, I'm Tom

I am a Graphic Designer based in the Lake District, England. With a background in Product Design, I pride myself on my design thinking. While a polished final design is rewarding, it is the design journey and process that gives it value. When I am not pushing the boundaries of design I am pushing my limits in outdoor activities such as snowboarding, climbing and mountaineering.

My Career so Far...

I graduated with a First Class degree in Product Design from the University of Leeds where I learned key design thinking tools and methods.

Following my degree I worked for DriveWorks, a software company with a Queen's Award for Innovation, where I was the first Product Design Assistant in The Sales and Marketing Team to bring my design perspective to innovate and improve current demos, collaborating with customers, sales, engineers and front-end developers. 

I then co-founded a Design Studio with another Designer to provide design services for local businesses. We took on a range of customers from tourism to consumer goods and outdoor services. Some of these projects included 3D modelling, branding and web design.

I ventured more down the Graphic Design route, working as a Graphic Designer at MTP Media where I created print material for 15+ local businesses, gaining excellent print knowledge, amending client artwork, and seeing pieces through the print production phase.

I worked as a Creative Artworker remotely for MT Finance in London, collaborating with the marketing team for fast turnaround projects including video editing, email campaigns, social media design and marketing material both web and print.

Since then I have travelled across the World to Canada to pursue my outdoor passions in mountaineering, climbing and snowboarding where I achieved some great expeditions while establishing myself as an international Freelance Designer taking on projects from UX/UI to branding and more. I have worked with companies such as Impact International, Greenwich Education Group and RestingPlace.

I am now a Graphic Designer at CB in the marketing team working under the Marketing Manager alongside other Designers to create marketing content for the brand.
