Tom Petty is a hands-on product and brand designer with 11 years of experience crafting digital products and identities for startups and scale-ups from London. He’s led design teams and major product redesigns at companies like GoCardless and Lyst, helped launch Google Play Console improvements at Google, and was the founding designer at Cord where he helped raise $18M and ship products used by Typeform and Monday.com. Tom combines strategic brand thinking from his Wolff Olins and consultancy background with pragmatic product design—recently designing AI-driven incident tools at incident.io. He also co-founded Design Club to nurture the creative community and advises as an angel investor at Bricklane, reflecting a strong interest in building ecosystems as well as products. Known for clear facilitation and inclusive hiring, he excels at turning ambiguous problems into customer-focused, shipped solutions. An unusual thread through his career is balancing hands-on craft with organisational building: from founding teams to scaling design functions across markets.
