TRC Designs — A creative design portfolio

Hi, I'm Tom, a Senior Product Designer UI Engineer

I design accessible, high-performance products across discovery, UX, UI, design systems, AI-assisted workflows and delivery.

About

I first began using Photoshop when I was fifteen, and that was my first step to becoming a designer.

Over 12 years I've led end-to-end UI/UX across web and mobile—research, journeys, wireframes, prototyping, usability testing, and design systems—then carried it through to front-end implementation. Accessibility (WCAG), responsive patterns, and performance are table stakes for me.

I collaborate comfortably with stakeholders and agile teams, translate goals into shippable UI, and iterate with evidence—user testing, metrics, and fast feedback loops—to deliver outcomes that balance user needs with business value. I work closely with product managers, engineers and stakeholders to turn ambiguous problems into clear, shippable experiences.

Highlights

  • ELMO Software Led end-to-end product design for a major ATS redesign, modernising complex recruitment workflows across requisitions, candidates, panels, interviews, offers, automation and design system patterns.
  • Atturra Designed a large-scale federal government search and data experience, including personas, journeys, wireframes, Figma prototypes, WCAG-aligned patterns and responsive UI delivery.
  • Bindr Co-founded and designed a recruitment platform from the ground up, covering product strategy, branding, candidate and employer journeys, UI design, front-end implementation and production delivery.
  • Blick Creative (2012) Selected 1st of 300 for an internship and hired part-time—formative small-studio experience in purposeful design and delivery.
