About me
My name is Tommy and I am based in South West England. I'm passionate about building brands that people love.
When I'm not designing, I love to explore Europe's beautiful landscapes, listen to music, and spend quality time with my wife & two boys. Whether it's hiking in the mountains or touring around in our vintage Airstream, I find inspiration in everything around me.
Beyond work, I’m passionate about health, fitness and nutrition — and about learning where food comes from and how it supports both personal wellbeing and sustainable businesses.
