I’m Tom —

a designer, photographer, and visual storyteller based in Reno.
Whether it’s design, photography, or film, my work is rooted in story and built to connect.

My journey into visual storytelling started long before I called it a career. I was the kid always sketching, always filming, always chasing light with whatever camera I could get my hands on. That creative curiosity turned into a lifelong obsession with capturing real moments: the quiet, the cinematic, the ones you feel more than you see.

I was lucky enough to turn that passion into a career, spending over 10 years designing in the apparel industry and sharpening my eye for detail, layout, and bold visual thinking. Whether I’m building a brand, photographing a landscape, or crafting a video sequence, I bring the same intention: to create something that resonates, not just something that looks good.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with brands, creators, and clients who value work that tells a story. My visuals have earned recognition for their clarity, emotion, and edge, but more than any award, it’s the trust I’ve built and the impact the work creates that mean the most.

I’m currently exploring new opportunities, including freelance collaborations and full-time roles where I can bring my creative experience, strategic thinking, and passion for visual storytelling to a larger team or brand. With over a decade of hands-on design experience in the apparel industry and a focus on photography, branding, and motion, I’m looking to partner with people who value bold ideas, clean execution, and meaningful work.

Whether you’re building a brand, launching a campaign, or looking for a creative who can think conceptually and deliver visually, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect and see how we can create something impactful together.
