Thomas Likins is a graduate of Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York where he earned a degree in Neuroscience with concentrations in Studio Art and Dance. Post undergrad he completed an intensive teacher training at Bikram Yoga College of India in Los Angeles, CA and returned to the NYC metro area to teach. He then completed his AAS in Interior Design at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City.
This winding-but-fulfilling path lead him to work for a boutique architecture firm specializing in high-end development and residential design. More recently he has moved from the traditional setting of firm work to creative agencies specializing in experiential design and marketing; here he designs site-specific activations for brands to engage various audiences that have included press launches, pop-ups, and parties.
The addition of event and studio photographic work was a logical creative extension given his longtime passion for film and digital photography.
Thomas finds inspiration through his daily life in New York City as well as his extensive travels abroad; he looks forward to the potentials brought forth from tapping into his eclectic background.
