Product builder, creator and coach helping designers have meaningful business impact.

I'm Tom Prior a senior product designer and strategist currently working on multiple ventures, from startups to content projects. I'm interested in how design actually moves business metrics, not just what looks good in portfolios.

As Program Director of d.MBA, I coach product designers on business impact and strategic thinking. I help designers understand how their work connects to revenue, growth, and real business outcomes — the stuff that gets them respect in the room and levels up their career.
