Tom Brickman

Product Designer + Engineer based in London

I’m a multi-disciplinary product innovator and leader. With a passion to bring impactful ideas to life through a 360 approach to product development, I bring world-class products to market with velocity.

Process

  • Ideate

    Aligning initial vision with real user needs, I bridge creativity with strategic thinking. Diving deep into user research and discovery. I move fast with concepts and prototypes, validating ideas with real customers to optimise business opportunities.

  • Create

    Running high velocity design and engineering together, I ensure the experience is rooted in real customer needs and optimising time to customer value. I work closely with teams to rapidly design and build full-stack projects together, from start to finish.

  • Iterate

    Ongoing refinement is baked into every project, the journey never ends. Expect continuous discovery, iteration, and validation to turbo-charge the product lifecycle. Working with customers to constantly design, build and adapt the product for success.

    I have always lived and breathed creativity, design and development from an early age. Most of my skills are self-taught, starting with small projects creating online communities, way before social media existed. Over the years, I have continued to build, support and consult other projects in my spare time, as I'm continually passionate about what I do.

About

I’m a multi-disciplinary product innovator and leader with over 20 years professional experience

My approach to product development is end-to-end, helping teams rapidly discover, ideate, design and build world-class products with velocity. I am well-versed in both design and full-stack engineering, having led large tech products from end-to-end.

My passion is to transform the world through impactful product development, bringing real change to the way people interact, connect and work with each other in an increasingly online-first world.

Most of my career has been at Artlogic, where I grew the organisation from a small startup to a multi-million SaaS business, having conceptualised, designed and built the most successful software in the art tech space.
