About

Hello! I am Tom and I have been in the design field since 2005. I tried different areas from website/mobile/e-commerce projects as freelancer, head of design in a startup to manager of a design team in a big tech company Oracle.

In the past few years I have been also mentor to 20+ designers, ranging from mid level experience to starting managers. I focus on tangible results which typically cover finding a better paying job, getting a promotion and growing your design skills. In some cases, mentees decide to quit their jobs and join my team :)

Now what can I help you with?

- Getting to a next level in your design career
- Soft skills training (presenting, negotiating, communication etc.)
- Portfolio review + landing new job
- Design feedback and guidance

Thing twice if ...

- I am not the greatest researcher, so if you want someone who will teach new tricks and techniques, you might want to look elsewhere
- I focus on long term, and gradual improvements over time, so if you want to get results quickly and swap mentors often, then we won't be a good match.
- I don't sugar-coat and play politics, you can expect to hear from me candid and constructive feedback from day one.

Some fun facts about me

- Passionate lego builder and investor - I own more lego bricks than when I was a kid.
- Gamer, Crypto and Blockchain nerd - Playing games since 1993
- Snowboarder and climber - I used to do some crazy stuff but I am wise (old) not to do them anymore
- Daddy - Most fun project of my career.

What happens when you start

You tell Tom your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Tom reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
