About me
Before joining Design Bridge & Partners, Tom's creative career combined an incredible mix of roles; from Industrial Design, to teaching at Eton College, and working as both a Creative Strategist and Ethnographic Research for brands like Nokia and Electrolux. As a result, Tom's approach is always practical-minded, solution-orientated, and above all, grounded in experience.
With 20 years spent working across a variety of sectors and disciplines, branding has remained the constant within Tom's career.
For the past 5 years Tom lead the Shanghai studio, helping international brands adapt to the Chinese market, and domestic brands evolve for the international market. He counts Wu Liang Ye, Carlsberg, Mondelez and Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts amongst his clients, with recent work being awarded at Transform Awards Asia, Pentawards, PAC, FAB and Marking Awards.
His latest opportunity is to creatively lead the Global Experience Design Team at Design Bridge & Partners bringing brands to life from Strategy and Identity into Experience by leading a multidisciplinary community of designers across the group.
