Hi! I'm Tom.
Welcome to my site. This is not only a place for me to share my work - but it is a canvas for me to explore new designs, technologies, and UI techniques. I have recently completed my Masters from Northeastern University and now I am continuing my work on growing my skills. I have a deep passion for design and user experience and love to continuously learn more. Please feel free to explore my portfolio of work and reach out if you are interested in getting creative with me.
