About Tom Briggs

Founder at epigraph

Confession: I didn't start out in branding and identity design. Rather, I've had the good fortune to arrive at it over a winding career spanning 20 years of work with world-class designers, creatives and strategists.

In this time, I've seen the power of invested teams around the globe eager to make exceptional, world-changing work. I've also had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow travelers ranging in size from Global Fortune 50 corporations to early stage startups.

In 2020, I founded epigraph—an independent design, research, innovation & brand collective. epigraph equips and strengthens the highly disruptive organizations that are building a more just, equitable world. epigraph is built on the conviction that to overcome humanity's most daunting challenges, we must draw deeply from the well of human knowledge—bringing the best parts of humanity bear on our our current challenges.

I'm fueled by ideas, curiosity and pursuit of the greater good. As an internationally cited [social media + brand] researcher, Center for Creative Leadership graduate, AltMBA graduate, ERA NYC startup mentor & advocate for humanities-rooted education.
