Tom Muller’s love for comics started at a young age. Since then, he’s found a way of combining that love with his passion for graphic design, by creating brand identities for iconic fictional titles including Marvel’s X-Men.

He’s collaborated with Magnum Photos, DC Comics, and Sony Pictures, using his experience as a creative director to design cohesive brand identities from start to finish. He aims to infuse his work with powerful narratives, and uses a storytelling approach to his creative process which he calls ‘branding stories and designing fiction.’
