Hey there!
Iām Tom š a husband, multidisciplinary designer and lover of all things artistic, currently working remotely from the capital of Colombia. Iām a British gent at heart - especially when it comes to music - and I like making the digital and product space more interesting, accessibleļø and less rubbish place š
I do my best work when mixing leadership and hands-on design. Iām confident in my ability to effectively communicate design concepts and collaborate with cross-functional teams whilst helping my clients add clear vision, intrigue and collaboration into their projects - of course getting ridiculously excited when everything comes together.
Iām happiest when Iām smashing it with a team to make something come to life in itās best self – I do that through solid communication, focusing on a process and building a design structure using innovative tech alongside beautiful form.
I also love teaching and helping others succeed, usually taking a lead with companies and clients Iāve worked with to ensure that the team have a better understanding of the creative processā. I like to give ācrash-coursesā on the software used itself, because I find making people aware of how we utilise our tools makes it easier for us to solve the tough human problems.
Iāve done that for the likes of CollegeJourney.ai, Sharecare, Disney, MOL Group, Wimbledon, ASICS, Brainspark Games, LEGO, National Grid, and several design agencies and clients in UK and US.
Iāve always been a bit competitive, in my art studies, kickboxing, and pool tournaments with my dad (thatās definitely where I get it from). As much as I like that side of me, Iāve learnt to appreciate the importance of having a good work/life balance, especially as Iāve started a family of my own with a house of my wife, 5 furry kids š¶š± and me. So when Iām not in the digi-realm, youāll find me chasing around the dogs, cuddling a cat or two, practising my dancing with my wife, hitting the gym, or cheffing up something tasty.
Proud Moments
Iāve managed to rack up quite a few bits Iām chuffed about in my time. Various awards for projects, including a couple of Cannes Lions, Most Creative Branded Campaign of the Year, Leaders In Sports Award - Fan Experience, and some personal ones for Best UI, Best UX and Best Innovation in the CSS Community. My first ever Augmented Reality project I made was for Iron Maiden that I made solo in three weeks, learning SparkAR on the fly. And managed to raise almost Ā£2.5k in donations and 32cm of hair to go towards the Little Princessā Trust, to name a few things.

Nice words
When you need a creative Swiss army knife (seriously, who doesn’t!?) Then work with Tom Collins. This man can literally do anything, it’s actually a bit bonkers. I hired him at Inition and am so very happy that I did. Tom instantly added incredible creative flair and value on every single project he came into contact with. He is incredible as a graphic designer, an excellent and super fast motion graphics man about town, he can brand, understands audio design, illustrate to a disgustingly brilliant level, a wonderful photographer, he can film, edit… sigh you name it…. Yep he really is that good. Master of all, jack of none. You don’t meet many Tom Collinsā in your life and when you do then hold on, because he will make everything shine that much brighter… āØ

Iāve had the privilege of working closely with Tom Collins for several years, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most dependable and creative professionals Iāve worked with. Tom brings a rare combination of hard work, enthusiasm, curiosity, and trustworthiness to everything he does. He consistently shows up with thoughtful ideas, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine passion for crafting user-centered design solutions. His creative instincts are matched by a meticulous attention to detail – whether heās wireframing, prototyping, or refining UX flows, Tom brings a clear, human-focused perspective to the table. What stands out most is not just his skill as a designer, but his integrity and kindness. Heās a team player through and through, and someone you genuinely enjoy working with. Tom would be a tremendous asset to any company looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and all-around good human being on their team. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
