Thomas joined Wayward in 2010 to co-produce the Union Street Urban Orchard. Since then, he has worked with Wayward on projects from concept design through to construction, including teaching design and build skills to hundreds of project volunteers and running narrative co-design workshops with communities.

Before joining Wayward, Thomas ran a design-build consultancy that brought together play, participation and narrative design with innovative use of materials. His work includes a housing development in Ghana, utilising local building techniques, teaching construction skills to the local community and building a legacy to encourage economic investment in the local area.

Thomas studied Fine Art at Falmouth College of Art, Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture (BSc) and the Royal College of Art (MA architecture). He is a guest critic at the Bartlett, Middlesex and the RCA.
