Thomas is a UK and LA based production designer known for his refined aesthetic and sharp attention to detail. His work is rooted in a love of world building and a strong sense of visual storytelling, shaping environments that naturally support and advance the director’s vision. Whether crafting atmospheric worlds or realistic settings rich in character, Thomas ensures that every set instantly communicates mood, place, and story at a glance.
Thomas began his career in Los Angeles in the 2000s, gaining experience under acclaimed production designers including KK Barrett, Dominic Watkins, and Jeremy Hindle. He quickly rose through the ranks of the art department, developing a reputation for creative problem solving, visual clarity, and meticulous execution. Over the years, he has collaborated globally with many of the industry’s most respected directors, designing a diverse array of visually ambitious high-end international campaigns.
His ability to adapt across genres and styles while maintaining a clear, expressive point of view makes him a trusted creative partner on everything from short-form commercial work to long-form storytelling.
In addition to his work as a visual storyteller, Thomas is also a musician, with a long-standing passion for sound and its narrative power. His background in music and songwriting has informed his approach to visual composition, deepening his understanding of rhythm, tone, and emotional pacing in his work.
With dual UK and US citizenship, Thomas continues to work internationally, bringing disciplined design thinking and a cohesive aesthetic approach to every project.
