I'm Tom, a digital design specialist from the south coast of England. This is my blog and portfolio. Here you can see my work, and read my thoughts on design, UX, and all these areas...

My thoughts on digital user experiences, and examples of things I've worked on that I find interesting.
Real-world UX situations, Theme Parks, Shopping Centres and anywhere that requires user influence to drive desire.
My thoughts and experiences with front-end development, and a closer look at some of the technologies I use.
Thoughts and feelings about design and UX in theme parks, the ultimate in controlled, designed experiences.
Examples of my work. Projects that I'm proud of, and that I think are interesting.
My personal reflections, as well as observations about work I'm currently doing or my experiences more generally.
How digital technology is applied in a slow moving and restrictive UK Higher Education setting.
Thinking about the impact of artificial intelligence on design and user experience.
