Who's Tim?
Who's Tim?
In the past, I’ve spent 8.5 years as a Web and Graphic Designer working on e-commerce sites and 2 years as a Motion Graphics and VFX Artist creating eye-catching commercials and ads. Along the way, I’ve picked up a variety of skills like coding, drawing, painting, and even teaching figure drawing.

All of these passions come together to shape how I approach design—blending creativity, technical know-how, and a love for making things look amazing.

What’s it like to work with me?
Heather Elsa
Director of Product Design
Having Tim on our team was an absolute joy, right from his interview. He truly stood out in his interview- not just because of his skills, but because he went above and beyond all other applicants. During his portfolio review, Tim had taken it upon himself to redesign a long-requested feature in our product—a move that showed initiative and a real passion for problem-solving. He didn't just talk about what he could do; he showed us.
Tim is articulate, calm under pressure, and a thoughtful team player. His diverse skill set, from UX design to illustration, painting, video, and animation, makes him a true creative force. But it’s not just his talents that make him stand out—it’s his approach. He’s fully engaged, dedicated, and incredibly easy to work with. His ability to think through complex UX challenges with creativity and precision made him an invaluable asset to our projects.
And honestly, he just made everything more fun. Tim’s presence brightened every meeting, and I’ve never laughed so much during work calls. His energy is contagious, and everyone wanted to collaborate with him because he made the work both productive and enjoyable.
If you have the chance to bring Tim onto your team, don’t hesitate—hire him before someone else does. He’s a rare find.

UX Product Design Manager
Tim not only has a winning personality, he is a fantastic designer. He consistently delivered great work and was extremely reliable. Tim’s eagerness for growth set him apart from his peers. He is self motivated and an impressive collaborator. Tim’s skillset extends beyond traditional UX. He is an artist at heart and brings that expertise and attention to detail into his work. He was our go to animator for every project across verticals. His aptitude for motion design helped tell the story for many of our products, creating clarity and bringing moments of delight to users. I highly recommend Tim and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

When I was first interviewing for my position, Tim was a big reason that made me want to join this design team. He was kind, charismatic and very welcoming. I felt an immediate connection to him within minutes. I was very fortunate to be able to start working with him and it turns out those characteristics were only the start. He is an incredible designer with a deep understanding of user needs and exceptional skills design skills. His motion design skills, though, are unparalleled. His designs brought user experiences to life with thoughtful visuals and storytelling that made everything feel more engaging and delightful. I loved working with Tim and am so grateful he came into my life.

Tim!! My first friend at work:)
His ability to convey complex ideas with clarity and impact and his exceptional presentations always impressed me. One of Tim's standout qualities is his ability to learn new tools with ease and share his knowledge generously. Tim was always the first to dive in and master whether it was the latest updates in Figma (like "variables") or any other cutting-edge software. He never hesitated to organize workshops, and hands down, every one of them was incredibly helpful. He quickly became the go-to person for all things related to animation and motion design, consistently delivering stunning work that elevated our projects.
Beyond his technical expertise, Tim is an absolute joy to work with. His sense of humor, kindness, and friendly nature made him the perfect facilitator for workshops and brainstorming sessions. He created a positive and inclusive atmosphere that encouraged collaboration and creativity. I've learned so much from Tim, and I cannot wish enough to work with him again in the future!

Tim’s expertise in bringing ideas to life, truly sets him apart as an exceptional designer. His attention to detail and dedication to quality ensures that designs are visually stunning and user friendly. Not only is Tim incredibly detail orientated, he is highly collaborative and brings such a positive attitude. He has a knack for making complex concepts easy to understand, and genuinely enjoys helping others by always being willing to share knowledge. Coupled with his top notch skills in motion design, Tim is a force to be reckoned with.

Tim is a unique and talented artist, always coming up with fresh ideas that turn designs into beautiful and joyful experiences. His attention to detail is impressive—everything he creates looks polished and professional. Plus, he’s a total pro with Adobe After Effects, crafting stunning animations that tell a story and grab your attention. I reached out to him for help with the Resource Library page to brainstorm ideas and he expertly designed and created an animation that brought the page to life!
On top of his incredible talent, he’s super personable and approachable. Whenever I have questions, he’s always eager to help out and goes the extra mile to share tips and tricks, all with a big smile. Every time we meet, I find myself inspired all over again by the amazing artwork that decorates his space. The skill that goes into those pieces is phenomenal, and he’s always working on improving his craft. If you’re looking for someone with genuine talent in graphic, motion, and product design, Tim is the one you want!

It was a true pleasure working with TimTom. He has an easy-going, playful nature that brings a lightness to every interaction, yet he takes his work seriously, considering both user and stakeholder with each UX decision he makes. When we worked together on a project he was always open to experimentation and sought out fresh approaches where he could. He has the ability to hone in on the tiniest of details, whether it's meeting WCAG standards for color contrast or distilling a discussion we had about tone, expression, and message into a refined product. I was beyond impressed with his ability to take those abstract ideas and create illustrations that evolved from pen-and-paper into polished digital art. His expertise in animation and motion graphics is impressive. This man is a true artist - constantly challenging himself across multiple mediums and holding classes for friends that are interested in improving their skillset. Some people carry their expertise around as a badge of superiority but not Tim. He never boasts, he's just happy to contribute his expertise in a way that will help others. I'd gladly work with TimTom again.
