Tom Chan
DESIGNER | LEADERSHIP COACH | EDUCATOR
With over 25 years in the industry, I have learned to be a highly dexterous creative. I am able to provoke the left brain with new ideas and paradigms and fuel the right brain with creative challenges within project guidelines. I apply a simple mantra to my work: To deliver value throughout the creative process.
With imagination, innovation and vision, I have run small design studios, worked in larger agency environments, invested in start-ups and created long term relationships with clients and their customers. I crave the energy of creative teams and collaborate with them to craft memorable and sustainable stories based on authentic narratives.
I approach problem solving from a place of curiosity, relentlessly testing my own mental model. This ensures that I am able to understanding the challenge; get deep empathy with users; build solutions based on a system; and forsee how that will impact the broader community.
While I may not have the answers, facilitating conversations, presenting ideas to stakeholders, mentoring creatives and coaching new designers, typically leads to better collective outcomes.
