Coaching and Mentorship

“A leader is best when people barely know they exist. When their work is done, their aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves.” – Lao-Tzu

Nurturing Talent and Driving Innovation

My approach to coaching is rooted in a belief that growth is a continuous journey that demands both self-discovery and strategic guidance. I offer coaching as a commitment to giving back to the design community, emphasizing investment in our emerging designers and addressing the industry’s gaps. Through personalized coaching sessions, provided at no cost, I aim to unlock the potential of each individual. This helps not only in enhancing their skills but also in cultivating their ability to think strategically and lead with confidence.

Whether it’s refining design skills, enhancing leadership capabilities, or optimizing product development processes, my goal is to empower you to make impactful decisions that resonate across your teams and projects. I am dedicated to fostering a community where continuous improvement, strategic innovation, and leadership excellence are not just encouraged but actively pursued. Join me in transforming potential into outstanding professional achievements.

UX Designer II

Thomas is an excellent design leader and mentor dedicated to empowering and growing the careers and skills of others. While Thomas provides inspiration through his contagious passion for design, he also imparts actionable steps, resources, and guidance to his help mentees. Thomas started mentoring me several years ago when I was a university student. His mentorship has been immensely impactful in not only in helping me growing my design career but also in building up my confidence. He sees the potential in others and empowers them with the guidance needed to grow and progress professionally.

Thomas is a thought leader who creates engaging user experiences that balance business goals while building strong, collaborative teams. My career as a designer began under Thomas right out of grad school, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be the designer I am today without his guidance. He’s a great leader and mentor who sees potential in people and helps them grow. Thomas provides the right guidance to keep designers on track, while giving them the freedom to innovate and push boundaries. His personal approach to mentorship is unique, and I’d gladly work with him again.
