Tim established Eight Inc. in downtown San Francisco in 1989 on a simple but powerful belief, that creating meaningful human experiences will define human progress.He was leading a global team of experience designers across a network of Eight Inc. studios, and through his passionate commitment and extraordinary ability provided guidance on what the impact of design can have on us humans.Tim’s curiosity, fearlessness, and pursuit of excellence inspired generations of designers and collaborators and changed how people experience the world around them.We will miss him deeply, as his vision and values will continue to guide all of us.The team at Eight Inc. extends our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Family and Friends of Tim across the world.
