Thomas has always seen the world differently because he was born with Albinism, a genetic disorder that majorly effects his eyesight.

This disability has made him view life a lot closer. Unlike most, who glance at things and gather the relevant information quickly, he has to get literal inches from the subject to pull the same fidelity. This has caused him to see the small details and imperfections in the world that others may not notice or care to take the time to notice.

Naturally, this has carried over into his work. Graphic Design revolves around function, intention, and precision, so it was only fitting to pursuit it. He works knowing that if someone like him were viewing his work, he wouldn’t want them to find any mistakes.

At the start of 2021, Thomas began freelance work primarily consisting of design and illustration. The projects included logos, branding, infographics, and art pieces. Other notable works include apparel design, garment sourcing, and wallpapers. During the 2023-24 school year, he worked at UNC Charlotte’s Recreation Center and produced advertising campaigns, web page designs, and social media infographics.
