About
I’m Zach Thomas, an industrial designer who’s always believed that good design should be both beautiful and practical. After years of creating products for major brands, I wanted to build something more personal — a line of designs that reflect the same level of care and attention, but made on a smaller, more thoughtful scale.
At Thomas Design Co, I focus on modern house number signs crafted with precision and intention. Each piece is made to enhance a home’s character through balanced design, durable materials, and honest craftsmanship. What started as a small project in my workshop has grown into a way to share timeless, well-made design with homes everywhere. -
