tomtor (Tom Tor)

As a curious citizen of the world, I always feel privileged and lucky to have my story, design and creative work reach global audience through a wide array of clients including Motorola, Coca Cola, Adidas, Nokia, and Sony. I strongly believe that, in conveying messages or ideas, it is possible to have a clear communication without the need for a translation. It is my mission to create or provide an image that is not dependent upon what language one speaks or reads, for it provides for a greater opportunity to be seen and interpreted by the masses. My work focuses on critical reflections of visual communication practices, especially brand architecture and consumer culture. Covering a spectrum of disciplines, I work extensively with various media to explore the forces of nature modulated through technology. It is always a joy to share my experience with lectures and workshops in the USA, Europe and Asia and contribute the industry with publications including books and magazines. I am honored to be recognized with awards, especially by the United Nations Award of Excellence in Geneva, International Human Rights Award, and Design of Excellence. I also highly value my mentors at various educational institutions around the world who helped me achieve an international perspective.
