Words from great clients people

Founder

Head of Product

CEO

I worked with Tom on freelance projects and at Cloudli. He balances big-picture thinking with attention to detail, keeping user experience central even under tight deadlines or changing needs. He’s direct, collaborative, and elevates the team’s output. I recommend him for any team needing strong product design leadership.

Head of Product at Cloudli

“I have known and worked with Tom Neal for nearly 10 years. Tom’s one of the best digital product designers and CX/UX/UI team leads in the business. He’s creative, reliable, personable and genuinely a pleasure to work with!”

Gavin Macomber

Chief Operating Officer at Cloudli

Tom is the best designer I've worked with. Having collaborated to design 5 different products, he always just "gets it". Tom intuitively understands the user perspective, the product needs, and the business priorities. His designs find the perfect balance of usability, simplicity, modern look & feel, and practicality with a dash of user delight. Building with Tom is always a pleasure, and I implicitly trust that the end result will be outstanding every single time.

About me

Tidy Up

Hey, I’m Tom! I work remotely from the UK, with teams wherever they are in the world, and I'm always excited to collaborate with ambitious people building products that deserve to be loved.

My general approach to design is built around a core principle: KISS (keep it stupid simple). I strip away the unnecessary, add moments of delight and focus on what really matters to create unique experiences that feel effortless for the people using them.

Away from the desk, I enjoy exploring ⛰️ The Peak District with my wife, daughter and our 🐶 Cavalier King Charles, Ozzy. You’ll also find me grinding 🎮 Slay The Spire 2, getting stuck into a 🕵️‍ true crime doc or making my own 🍕 pizza.
