Hi Im Tom



I am a 21 year old graduate of the University of Salford (UK) with a degree in Product design BA (Hons) I live in Manchester England and have a real passion for design. Designers who's work I really appreciate and draw inspiration from include Marcel Breuer, Frank Lloyd Wright, Stefano Giovannoni, Dieter Rams, William McDonough and Verner Panton. I am a great advocate of the Bauhaus style and feel that in todays world with so many distraction's unnecessary items and an ethic that everything is disposable there is a great opportunity. Designers have the opportunity to do good to make sure products are manufactured and sold in such a way as to help the planet and us, the humans who live on it. I will leave you with three of my favourite design related quotes



"Form follows function" Louis Sullivan



"To eliminate the concept of waste means to design things--products, packaging, and systems--from the very beginning on the understanding that waste does not exist." William McDonough (Cradle to Cradle)



"Product designers are always in demand as you are taught not how to draw or design but how to solve problems" Pete Marsh
