DESIGN PRACTICE + TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Professor Thomas design career was born in the start up culture of the late 90's dot com boom era, when he was the studio director for AtomStudio / AtomFilms.com. This start up mindset drives his professional design practice, his experimental installation work and current research into how games can effect social change and awareness.

Thomas maintains an active design practice (t13media.com) providing design consultation for non-profit institutions, small businesses and entertainment clients. This active engagement in the business of design ensures that the courses he teaches are based on real world design practices.
