Tom Quigley
Digital Product & Systems Designer / Blending Craft, Strategy & Design Leadership
I work on projects that balance usability and craft, working with teams across culture, commerce, and the public sector.
Areas of Focus
Brand Experience
Product Design
System Design
Motion Design
Prototyping
I’ve worked with museums, nonprofits, and government agencies — as well as galleries, fashion labels, and global brands.
The projects differ in scope, but the goal stays the same: make design that’s clear, functional, and human. Many of the commerce brands I’ve worked with center on sustainability and craft; many of the nonprofits focus on education, public service, or environmental impact. That overlap keeps me curious and grounded — using design to make tools more useful and experiences more enjoyable.
Whether refining a design system for the Smithsonian or modernizing e-commerce for a heritage brand, I focus on work that earns trust and evolves gracefully over time.

My approach lives between craft and collaboration.
I care about the details that bring a product to life — typography, rhythm, motion — and the systems that keep those details consistent.
My process is straightforward: listen, prototype, iterate. I work closely with engineers and content teams to make sure design intent carries through to what users actually experience.
