Tom Newspring

Product Designer

Wellington, New Zealand
Solving problems since 2017 by designing world-class digital products, brands, systems and experiences with an emphasis on accessibility, inclusivity and privacy in fast-paced collaborative environments after attending the Apple Developer Academy in Naples, Italy.

My most important design tool is a good question.

If great work sold itself, my life would be a lot easier.
A good designer doesn’t just create stunning visuals. I work to understand problems, communicate with key players, and create solutions.
Still, you can find some of it on Behance at behance.net/TomNewspring. And if you really want to know what I’m capable of, let’s have a korero!
