Hi I’m Tomo!

I am a UI/UX Designer who gets a kick out of reaching the limits of my imaginative powers to solve complex problems. I am curious by nature and I thoroughly enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone in search of new experiences and new encounters to help me grow and learn. 

Ever since stepping into my first psychology lecture in university, I have had a passion for understanding how people think, how they make decisions, and how they connect with one another.  Through my ongoing journey in understanding the endless depths of the human psyche, I have learned the importance of staying genuinely curious, thinking empathetically, and starting with the right questions. 

After spending 5 years analyzing customer journeys, converting leads into customers, and building strong, engaged communities as a digital marketer, I had the opportunity to work closely with a product team conducting user interviews. As though I was struck by lightning, I immediately knew that a career change was necessary. I pivoted to product design to be more directly involved in the collaborative process of understanding people’s spoken and unspoken needs to design meaningful solutions for real people struggling with a significant problem. 

Outside of work, you can find me endlessly consuming movies, mediocrely playing a variety of sports, enthusiastically rooting for my favorite teams, or aimlessly wandering on an adventure.
