I'm Tome Wilson
a designer and storyteller based in Philadelphia

When was the last time you truly felt connected?

That question drives my career. I connect people to ideas, lead creative teams, and design flagship products used by millions every day, generating over $138 billion dollars for some of the world’s largest companies. One of those designs even earned me an Emmy, an honor I never anticipated and still feel humbled by.

I build connections through experiences.

I first designed connections as an event producer, delivering dozens of big-budget corporate events and over 20 original immersive stories. From the dazzling spectacle of Jazz Age on the Delaware and the candlelight intrigue of Au Dîner des Voleurs, to the critically acclaimed thriller series, Friends of Autumn, each story explored a different intersection of art and humanity.

I strengthen the systems through which we connect.

As a W3C volunteer and co-author of the world’s leading accessible design standards, I connect technology to human needs. At Comcast, I connected employees in over 13 countries with mental health programs, helping society at a global scale. At WITNESS, I helped governments connect peacefully with their citizens, a mission that earned us a Peabody Award in 2024. And now, I’m connecting industry leaders from Microsoft, Adobe, Meta with AI safety practices to ensure they protect our future.

I learn from extraordinary connections.

World class engineers, artists, visionaries… volunteers covered in dust, people in need of help… their stories shaped me; how I see the world, how I listen, and how I tell my stories. Because in the end, it’s not about the road. It’s about the moments that connect us. So whether I’m creating something, or sharing a drink with my friends, the goal remains the same. Design meaningful experiences. Connect people. Tell stories that matter.

Let’s connect and tell stories together.
