Creative Design Technologist

Sydney, Australia

Tom Arias is a Creative Design Technologist — a rare blend of art director and systems designer who thrives at the point where creativity meets logic.

He believes the best design feels effortless: smart enough to work, beautiful enough to move you. Tom’s work sits in that sweet spot — minimal, bold, and tactile. He builds design systems that free teams to focus on the creative work that matters, and art-directed pieces that make people forget they’re looking at an ad at all.

With a background in both creative direction and workflow automation, Tom has spent years crafting modular systems, custom plugins, and templates that streamline production while elevating craft. His goal is simple — to make creativity more human by removing the friction behind it.

Outside the screen, Tom’s creativity extends into photography, long hikes with his dog Sally, and a love for bringing small ideas to life — the kind that start as a sketch and grow into something real.
