I’m Thomas, a passionate digital designer based in Chicago. My journey in design began in 2018, creating graphics for aspiring streamers on YouTube and Twitch. What started as a hobby soon grew into a dynamic freelance career, leading me to establish my own design studio, Pixel Pulse. Today, I work with a diverse range of clients, including local businesses, content creators, and startups, helping them bring their visions to life through innovative and impactful design.
Education:
I’m a graduate of the University of Detroit Jesuit High School & Academy, class of 2022. In 2023, I returned as a guest instructor for the freshman Digital Design class in Adobe Illustrator. The lesson I developed was so well-received that it became the final project for the semester.
Signature Projects:
"Is This For Kids?" Podcast: I had the privilege of branding and creatively directing the Is This For Kids? podcast, hosted by Jonathan Blevins and Katie Ruvi. The show's producer, BVM Studio, approached me after two unsuccessful concept design rounds elsewhere. They selected the final logo from the choices I presented and were so impressed that they expanded my role to include a full range of post-production assets. I later joined BVM Studio as their full-time Creative Director, a position I held for the next year before moving on to new opportunities.
Gamers Outreach Foundation: For two consecutive years, I was the Lead Motion and Sound Designer for the Gamers Outreach Streamathon Spooktacular, a flagship charity event that unites the gaming community to bring joy to children in hospitals. My creative contributions helped in raising $1.63 million of direct donations during these years, supporting interactive play for children in hospitals across the U.S. through innovative solutions.
Family Fortnite Friday: Collaborating with gaming icons Ninja and BeardedBlevins, I created the branding and design assets for the duo's weekly live show. By amplifying its reach and potential through creative solutions, the project’s success secured sponsorship from Ninja Slushi.

Pixel Pulse Design Studio:
Founded to expand my creative impact, Pixel Pulse allows me to take on ambitious projects that merge artistry with functionality. From local coffee shops to global content creators, my studio has become a trusted name for branding, motion graphics, and digital storytelling.
Design Philosophy:
My approach to design is grounded in storytelling. Whether crafting a logo, animating graphics, or designing marketing assets, I aim to create visuals that not only captivate but also connect deeply with audiences. My work has generated millions in revenue for clients, garnered billions of digital impressions, and left a lasting impact across industries.
