Thomas is a UK and LA based production designer known for his refined eye and instinctive sense of detail. His work centres on world building and visual storytelling, creating environments that feel lived in, cinematic, and completely in tune with the director’s vision. Whether he’s designing something atmospheric or grounded in realism, his sets always communicate mood, place, and story in an instant.
He began his career in Los Angeles in the 2000s, working under acclaimed designers including KK Barrett, Dominic Watkins, and Jeremy Hindle. He quickly moved up through the art department, earning a reputation for creative problem solving, visual precision, and an ability to make bold ideas feel effortless. Since then, he has collaborated around the world with many of the industry’s most respected directors, designing visually ambitious, high end international campaigns.
Known for being adaptable across genres and styles while maintaining a clear, distinctive point of view, is something that’s made him a trusted creative partner on everything from large scale commercials to narrative work.
Outside of film, Thomas is also a musician with a long standing love of sound and its emotional power. His experience writing and performing music continues to shape how he approaches visual rhythm, tone, and atmosphere in his design work.
With dual UK and US citizenship, Thomas works internationally, bringing disciplined design thinking and a cohesive, expressive aesthetic to every project he takes on.
