Portrait of Thomas Grimm

Jeweler · Podcaster · Co-founder · Maker

A curious mind. A maker’s hands.

From the jeweler’s bench to the microphone, and wherever the next idea takes me.

01 The person

More than one thing.

I’ve never been very good at having just one interest.

I’m Thomas. I work as an AA Jeweler for a large jewelry company, co-host The Days Grimm with Brian Day, and co-founded Anomalist, a small studio that makes games and builds sites and apps.

My creative work moves between photography, video and editing, podcasting, game development, websites and apps. I also build my own AI tools; a few of them are on the Builds page. 3D printing gives me one more way to turn an idea into something tangible.

And sometimes the best thing to make is a little time outside. Camping, a camera, a change of scenery: that’s part of it, too.

    Outdoors and camping, usually with a camera close by.

02 The work

Things I help bring to life.

A studio, a strategy game and a podcast. Different ways of making an idea real.
