Tom made his first masterpiece at 12 - it was a nude. He also achieved some notoriety at a local youth band.
At school, he traded political science for advertising. Little did he know, he would end up as a design director in Singapore in 2006.
Returning to Belgium in 2010, Tom had his first taste of independence with Me and Mister Jones. Time and experience taught him that ownership comes at a great price. But undaunted, he moved on in 2015 to set up One Seed with Maggie.
Tom believes you can be serious without a suit. And he’s got enough creativity to prove it. Embedded in his wit cleverly hidden behind strikingly beautiful visuals that speak volumes. He possesses an uncanny ability to make the complex look seemingly obvious - all without sacrificing elegance. What he means is - the less said, the better. He does a very good job at making the rest of us look over-complicated.
His specialities include: Corporate and brand identity, brand architecture, print systems, publication design, packaging, signage, exhibition design and interactive media.
Has worked on a freelance basis for These Days Y&R, Marrow, Duval Branding, Act Agency, Famous, Bowling, Flink etc.
