About

I'm Tom, a product and UX designer based in Sydney. For over four years I've helped lead design at Stockspot, looking after the whole experience across web, mobile and app. That covers everything from user research and information architecture to building our design system, prototyping and getting features out the door.

I'm drawn to complicated problems and the work of making them feel simple. I pay close attention to how people actually behave, the habits, hesitations and shortcuts they fall into, and design around that rather than around how we'd like them to act.

Outside of product work I have a passion for video games, old and new, and I shoot photography and make contemporary art.

How I work

I enjoy the messy middle of a project, when the goals are still a bit fuzzy. My job there is to shape them into something clear we can test and build, and to set up the systems that keep it consistent as the product grows.

Film

I'm as comfortable on a shoot as I am at the desk. From operating the camera to assistant directing and shooting set stills, I love being part of bringing a visual idea to life alongside the talent and crew.
