Thomas F. Officer

3x founder, designer, and good enough developer.

Hi, I'm Thomas "Toma," a full-stack product designer working remotely from New Hampshire. I was born in Paris, grew up in the Upper Valley of NH, and went to law school in Scotland. I discovered startups after law school and with the help of Venkat Rao's Breaking Smart essays, I fell in love with building software.

I'm currently working on Echo where my cofounders and I are reimagining the notebook. I'm fascinated with the potential of AI as a thinking partner, and it's a pleasure to work on unsolved design challenges.

I've been working in startups since graduating law school in 2012. I've become a software entrepreneur generalist with a speciality in rapid UX research and detail-obsessed design.

I love the woods, walkable cities, and long dinners with friends. Good conversation is a core value. It feels good to be on the same page, and even better to feel empowered to act on it. I'm thankful for everyone whose allowed me the opportunity to grok, grow, and build together.
