ABOUT ME

My name is Tom and I am a designer and curator. I am available for full time or freelance work, please get in touch via email for any inquiries.

My practice is rooted in care, community and accessibility with the goal to translate powerful messages through tool making, play and alternative solutions in order to empower individuals and organisations to make genuine change.

Amplifying the voices of activist ideas and individuals, my current research pursues the freeing of culture from debilitating systems and the creation of new ones that empower all, human and non-human.

2021-22

For nearly two years, I worked part time as the graphic designer for the Show & Tell project, a part of The Photography Movement. This is an initiative set up to engage children in their mental health through photography workshops, activities and competitions.

Professional photographers designed activites that young people could follow through school programming or individually. These workshops taught them creative skills and techniques, whilst activating expression and conversation of mental health and wellbeing. 

As part of the programme, competition winners had their artworks displayed on digital billboards all over London.
