Biography
Tom Tam is a designer born in Hong Kong, with more than 20 years in product design and many national and international awards. He works across the whole process, from the first idea to mass production, with hands-on knowledge of materials, engineering and tooling, and grounds his decisions in research on users and trends. His work reaches beyond hardware: alongside consumer electronics, audio and lifestyle products, he also designs the interfaces that come with them, from on-device GUIs to mobile apps and desktop software. More recently he has been using AI to take his own ideas from concept and interface all the way to a released app.
