My Story
I'm Thomas Newman, originally from Yorkshire in the UK. I studied in London, have lived in Australia and now I'm back in London...my favourite city in the world with my wife and daughter. I work as a surgeon in the day and a designer day, night, dusk and dawn.
​
After years of designing, I learned to embrace my experience in healthcare rather than separate these aspects of my life. This has allowed me to specialise in branding within the health and tech industries under my moniker, 'The Brand Surgeon'
I believe that all brands and individuals have the opportunity to grow and part of that process involves understanding where we have come from, what makes us unique and what we are going to change. With this you can become greater than the sum of your parts
