Tye Thomas is a multidisciplinary creative based in New York City, exploring the relationship between people, objects, and space.

Through her practice, Tye navigates the capacity between functionality and aesthetic, forging brands, digital and IRL spaces, and experiences that foster human connection. Her approach is deeply rooted in a philosophy that design is a medium for profound communication and a catalyst for change. Tye’s creative interests  weaves through fashion, beauty, commerce, hospitality, retail, cultural institutions, and forward-thinking startups.

Tye sees design as the ultimate exploration of human potential, both at the macro scale of societies and the micro scale of individual experiences. She believes that the true power of design lies in its ability to reveal new possibilities, challenge the status quo, and open pathways for personal and collective growth. This perspective guides her work, as she aims to create experiences that not only serve their intended function but also inspire those who interact with them to consider their own place within the broader tapestry of human endeavor.

For Tye, each project is a journey into understanding how people relate to the environments around them and how these interactions shape their perceptions, emotions, and actions. She delves into the nuances of identity, culture, and community, seeking to create designs that resonate on a deeply personal level while fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity. By focusing on the intersection of functionality and aesthetics, Tye's work offers an immersive exploration of what it means to live, work, and engage with that which is design with empathy, innovation, and intentionality.
