Thomas Mann is a CEO and founder with 14+ years shaping interactive realtime graphics, UX and product strategy from Berlin. Trained as an architect (TU Berlin) and steeped in the computer demo scene since age 12, he blends pixel-level artistic craft with robust technical execution—skills honed at SigGraph-invited realtime simulation work and as Senior UX Designer at Nokia. He founded Framefield to commercialize realtime motion design tools and leads the open-source Streber project while contributing core GUI and animation features to Tooll 3. Comfortable mediating between code and design, he pairs frontend and scripting chops with project leadership, cost estimation and team management. An atypical combination of architecture, art direction and low-level graphics programming underpins his focus on usable, realtime visual systems.
