HEY THERE, I'M TOMMY!
An Art Director, Designer, and Animator with over 10 years of experience designing compelling visual stories across advertising, events, branding, UI/UX, social media, and motion graphics. My creative journey has taken me through diverse industries, from working with major clients like Pepsi, Labcorp, Bumble Bee, Tegria, Avalara, and Allegiant Airlines, to the fast-paced world of trade show and experiential design.
I thrive on thinking outside the box and pushing creative boundaries, always seeking fresh, innovative ways to connect brands with their audiences. Whether it’s developing a seamless digital experience or crafting a standout physical space, I approach every project with a strategic mindset and a passion for bold, impactful design.
I’m highly proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and comfortable wearing many hats—from concept development to final execution. Based in Chicago, I’ve spent the past five years working remotely, collaborating with teams and clients across the country while staying rooted in the city’s vibrant creative community.
Beyond the pixels and print, I’m a self published author, social media guru, and passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. I’m also a world champion cheerleader, an avid runner who loves exploring Chicago’s lakefront, and a self-taught chef with a serious love for comfort food and good eats around the city. I hold a degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Interactive Arts from Northeastern Illinois University, where I refined my craft and deepened my love for art and design.
Design isn’t just my job—it’s how I make sense of the world and share stories that matter. I believe in creativity that connects, inspires, and drives results. If you’re looking for a collaborator who brings energy, insight, and a fearless approach to design, let’s connect and create something unforgettable.
