Michael Thomsen
Founder
—

Where are you from?

Raised in Tasmania, but I’ve made my home in Newcastle.

What are three interests you have outside of working at Origin84?

  1. Instilling a lifelong love of Vegemite into my three sons.

  2. Restoring 1960s-era Hillman Imps.

  3. Connecting the dots between seemingly unconnected people in my network, to build a larger sense of community around me.

What is your favourite part of working at Origin84?

Is it a cliché to say “my clients”? It’s very rewarding to see a client go from a bad situation – where they’ve been hamstrung by bad advice, ludicrous workflows and ineffectual tech – to a much better situation, where employees are more productive and having a better time at work. It’s satisfying to be able to make that change happen.

Anything notable in your history?

I have a degree in Architecture and once upon a time was a professional snowboarder. Both sound impressive, and both now seem to be no practical use whatsoever.

If you are introduced to a stranger at a party, what do you say you do for work?

In 1984, Steve Jobs put something new into the market that wasn’t just a piece of computing hardware – it pointed to a whole new philosophy of working more intuitively with technology. Today, I want to show how that philosophy can be enacted in enterprise workplaces through to schools and and design studios to really accelerate what people can achieve.
