About Tomde Studio
Hi, I’m Tom.
Tomde Studio is my personal studio. I’m an artist from the North Shore of Staten Island, and together with my team I design, build, shoot and edit for brands here and everywhere else.
The story
It started with drawing.
I started this journey as an artist. I learned Photoshop for the first time so I could draw digitally, not to edit photos. That came later.
As I went, I kept looking for the path that would let me make a real career out of being an artist. That led to logos and branding, then photography, video, websites, print and everything in between. I came up working for agencies before going out on my own, and Tomde Studio is what I built.
Then social media retainers took off. Monthly shoots, edits and posting for local brands grew bigger than I ever expected, and I started bringing photographers, videographers, editors and designers in to keep up.
That growth is what led to CardHouse, the agency I’m building now. Tomde Studio isn’t going anywhere. It’s my name and my personal brand. I’m still hands-on in every project, with a team I trust helping me carry out the work, the way an artist’s studio should run.
How I work
What you can count on.
You work with me
No account managers in between. I set the direction on every project and stay on it through the final file.
One look, everywhere
Logo, site, socials, packaging, signage. When it all comes from one creative vision, it all matches.
Custom, not templated
Every logo starts as a sketch and every site is designed from scratch for the people who will use it. That’s the artist in me.
Your side of the table
I sit between you and the print shop, sign shop or wrap shop so things get done to your standard, not theirs.
Pro gear, pro edits
Content gets shot on professional cameras, lighting, audio and drone, then edited in house. Phones only when the look calls for it.
A team behind the work
Photographers, videographers, editors and designers who know my style and help me deliver it, from a single shoot to a full wedding day.
