Thomas Rademakers
Designer with 17+ years of experience building digital products that scale. I’ve led design at startups like STITCH and HATCH (PVH / Tommy Hilfiger & Calvin Klein), built teams from the ground up. I combine hands-on design with strategy, facilitation, and coaching. I work directly with founders, devs, and teams to turn complexity into clarity and ship work that sticks.
Design
Start with curiosity.
Follow what feels true.
Shape with care.
Honor the people using it.
Let it matter.
Whether I’m designing from scratch or improving what’s already there, I bring a practical, user-first mindset backed by clear strategy. I balance sharp intuition backed with research and validation and work in tight loops with stakeholders and developers.
I’m also a certified AJ& Smart Design Sprint facilitator, helping teams align quickly and act decisively.
