My name is Tom and I’m a designer.*
I am a detail-obsessed designer with decades of diverse industry experience including, most recently, 6 years developing innovative, approachable user experiences for Enterprise products at Ticketmaster. I have a proven ability to build and lead teams of superstar designers, cultivate collaborative multi-disciplinary relationships, and modernize/optimize processes and products.

Freenome is developing next-generation blood tests to detect cancer it its earliest, most treatable stages.
I work closely with product and engineering teams to translate technical requirements and user research into simple, user-centric experiences in a healthcare and technology setting. I’m also creating a design system from scratch that will scale for both internal and external digital products, and designing the physical test kit for sample collection.
Director of Product Design, Enterprise
Ticketmaster
March 2014 - October 2020
In my role as Director of Product, I oversaw all design efforts for Ticketmaster’s Enterprise products, from inception to release. This including marketing and communications design across all of our client touchpoints.
I helped institute and maintain proper UX research practices so all of our decisions were backed by reliable data that was constantly refreshed and reassessed.
I designed, built, and maintained the Ticketmaster Design System (Aurora), oversaw its implementation across our client and fan-facing products, and evangelized it throughout the organization.
I expanded the product team by recruiting and mentoring superstar designers, helping them to succeed, and encouraging them to grow within (and beyond) their roles.
I also co-led a major Ticketmaster rebranding effort which produced a significant refresh and influenced the design of our products.
