UNIQUEWAYS WITH THOMAS GIRARD Thomas Girard

With over 18 years of experience in the design industry, I strongly believe that being in the work defines creative leadership.

My passion for craft remains as strong as ever, and I actively contribute to the creative process, infusing projects with hands-on expertise. As a seasoned design leader, I find joy in both guiding my team and rolling up my sleeves to create.
