I’m Chad Thomas, a multidisciplinary designer, researcher & strategist based in New York City.
I leverage design thinking methodology to create impactful, innovative and insightful experiences in our built environment.
Whether as a design researcher, service designer, or strategist, the common thread is my use of human centered design and empathy to drive results. My special sauce is my ability to combine elements of Design Delivery and Environmental Design to bridge the gap between design and business.
-
Design Delivery drives communication and alignment to bridge the gap between design ideas and development.
-
Environmental Design is the crafting of the programs, strategies , products, and policies, that impact real-life spaces built for humans.
