Hi, I’m Thomas. Originally from Indonesia, now based in the Netherlands.

I’ve spent 15 years in tech, moving between engineering, design, and product. These days I’m building bloomworks, my own product studio, where I work with founders and organizations on digital products for well-being and mental health.

We also make our own things. One of them is Little Haven, a retro pixel pet designed around mental health and well-being. Think Tamagotchi, except this one tries to take care of you too.

Alongside that, I write about design and AI, mostly around how AI is changing the way we design, prototype, and build.

If you’re working on a project where design, technology, and wellness come together, I’d love to hear about it. Say hi – hi@thebuddyman.com
