a little about myself

Autumn brings time for reflection
and to prepare for the winter ahead.

I've been creating environmental design, retail design, residential design, and architectural illustrations for more than twenty-five years, working across the spectrum of specialty stores, “big box” retailers, food stores, trade shows, to service retail such as banking, and automotive & boating dealerships. I've worked in Europe and Asia as well as the United States.

My greatest strengths lie in creating strong yet practical design solutions which have enabled me to build a track record of projects that contain unique ideas both impactful and implementable.

I believe strongly in a “hands-on” approach when working with clients, collaborating as a team to jointly create solutions, and get the best ideas from all concerned for a better end result. Consistent use of strong creative leadership allows the project team to remain focused while stretching the boundaries of possibility.

I was educated at the Columbus College of Art & Design, and hold a BFA in Industrial Design. In the past, I've held creative direction positions at three well-known larger retail design firms, in addition to heading my own firm for eleven years. In late 2001, I founded the tom spayde studio, an independent consultancy focused on both short and long-term assignments.
