About me

Founder of D. Design Engineering Ltd.

Welcome to D. Design Engineering Ltd

Allow me to introduce myself – I'm Tom Dornom, and I am the driving force behind this venture.
A Strong Ethic From My Farming Roots to Engineering Chartership
My journey is deeply rooted in my upbringing on a commercial dairy farm. From a young age, I witnessed the value of hard work and strong ethics, instilled by my family. These principles have guided me throughout my life.
A Unique Approach to Education
I've never been one to conform. In school and college, I refused to settle for just the answers; instead, I sought to understand the fundamental principles that led to those answers. An unwillingness to remember and regurgitate answers punished me in the UK schooling system, but it proved to be invaluable at University, especially during my master's program. This approach not only enriched my long-term learning experience but also paved the way for my greatest achievements.
Unveiling a Passion for Engineering
My educational journey led me to a profound appreciation for physics, mathematics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics. Material sciences started to make sense, and engineering theorems began to reveal their secrets. I've always been a born problem solver, and I've honed this skill to become the accomplished professional I am today.
A Creative Mind at Heart
At my core, I'm a creative. Engineering isn't just a profession for me; it's a canvas for innovation and a way of thinking. Whether I'm designing innovative solutions or pushing the boundaries of engineering, creativity is the driving force.

Join Me on the Journey
At D. Design Engineering Ltd., we're not just in the business of engineering; we're in the business of bringing ideas to life and solving real-world problems. Join me on this remarkable journey where creativity meets innovation, and dedication leads to excellence.

Methodology

Creativity in Design

In my approach to design, I always begin by having a meaningful conversation with the customer. This helps me gain a deep understanding of their goals, constraints, and the intended audience. I encourage a creative mindset and often engage in brainstorming sessions and design thinking exercises. I value the customer's active participation, allowing them to freely share their ideas and insights. We use creative tools such as mind mapping, mood boards, and concept sketches to generate innovative design concepts. Continuously evaluating and refining these ideas based on customer feedback is crucial, keeping our creative process dynamic and effective.

Communication

Clear and effective communication is at the heart of my approach. I work closely with the customer to establish transparent channels of communication, ensuring they are consistently updated on project progress, design milestones, and any challenges or solutions. We use visual aids, presentations, and comprehensive documentation to convey complex ideas and design concepts in a way that is clear and accessible. I value open and constructive feedback from the customer, actively incorporating their input into the project. Our shared commitment to concise and jargon-free communication ensures clarity and alignment between us.
