Good ideas. Thoughtfully made.
Not every project needs the same thing. Some start with a brand, others with a website, and some with a digital experience that just isn't working as it should. I help figure out what matters and find the right way forward.
- 01
Branding & identity
A brand with something to say.
I build and evolve brand identities that help businesses become recognizable, stand apart and connect with the right people.

- Visual identity
- Rebranding
- Art direction
- Brand systems

Web design & development
A good website should do more than look good.
I design and build websites that communicate clearly, work smoothly and help turn visits into opportunities.
The right technology follows the project, not the other way around.

Understand first. Surprise later.
I don't start with screens or colors. I start with questions.
- 01
Listen and understand
We talk about your project, your business, your audience and the problem worth solving.
- 02
Find the direction
We organize ideas, set priorities and agree on an approach that makes sense.
- 03
Design and build
Strategy takes shape. I design, develop, test and refine until the solution comes together.
- 04
Refine and evolve
We check the outcome, polish the details and leave a solid foundation for what comes next.
It was never just design. And it still isn't.
Straight answers. No runaround.
What kind of projects can you help with?
Branding and identity, web design and development, and digital product design. I can also help shape the strategy if you're not yet sure what you need.
All servicesDo you work alone or with a team?
I'm your main point of contact and work directly on the project. When other skills are needed, I can bring in Binōme Studio and trusted specialists I've collaborated with before.
Get to know meHow much does it cost to work with you?
It depends on your goals, scope and complexity. Tell me what you're planning and I'll put together a proposal around what you actually need.
Do I need to know which platform my website should use?
Not at all. We first understand the project, then choose the best fit—whether that's Webflow, Shopify, WordPress, Framer or a custom solution.
All servicesCan you improve an existing website or brand without starting over?
Absolutely. Starting from scratch isn't always the answer. Sometimes it's better to keep what works, fix what doesn't and build from there.
Do you work with clients outside Spain?
Yes. I'm based in Madrid and collaborate internationally in Spanish, English and French.
How do we get started?
Tell me a little about what you need. We'll discuss your goals and scope and, if we're a good fit, decide how best to work together.
Good ideas start with a conversation.
You have an idea. I have a few questions.

Every project starts with a different question. And the best answer is rarely just a pretty interface. Here are a few brands, platforms and experiences I've helped bring to life.

Two paths. One way of doing things.
After years working across different studios, companies and teams, we decided to bring our experience together and build something of our own. That's how Binōme began: an independent design studio where different skills come together to bring good ideas to life.

01 · The beginning
Some ideas are better together.
We each came from different backgrounds, with our own experiences, disciplines and ways of looking at design.
After years of working with different teams and companies, we felt it was time to create something together.
We didn't just want to work independently. We wanted the freedom to combine our skills, share decisions and approach projects from a broader perspective.
Different journeys. A shared ambition.
02 · The idea
One plus one can go a lot further.
Binōme started with a simple belief: combining different skills opens up more possibilities.
Branding, digital design, user experience, web development and strategy all come together without being treated as separate worlds.
We like looking at the whole picture, from the first questions to the details that make everything work.
Because good ideas become stronger when the right people work on them together.
03 · Building our own brand
Designing for ourselves was part of the challenge.
Creating our studio's identity meant asking ourselves the same questions we ask our clients.
Who are we? What do we do? How do we work? What makes us different?
Our identity and website needed to reflect how we see design: clarity, character, collaboration and attention to detail.
It wasn't just about creating a good-looking brand. It was about building a presence that could showcase our work and start new conversations.
04 · From an idea to real projects
The best part came after launch.
Over time, Binōme became much more than an idea shared by two people.
We've worked with companies and startups, taken on projects of different sizes and collaborated with professionals both inside and outside the design industry.
Each project has helped us broaden our perspective, explore different ways of working and take on challenges we might not have approached the same way alone.
A small studio doesn't have to think small.
Studio content and communication
05 · My role
Designing, building and always learning.
As a co-founder of Binōme, I'm involved in the studio's creative and strategic decisions, bringing together branding, digital design, product thinking and web development.
It also means doing the work that doesn't always make it into a portfolio: listening to clients, understanding their needs, organising projects, collaborating with other professionals and turning ideas into real deliverables.
Binōme is an extension of how I work. A place to explore ideas, share responsibilities and make thoughtful work happen.
Closing
What starts with two can go much further.
Binōme keeps growing with every project, every client and every new collaboration.
Got something in mind? Let's see what we can create together.
I've been through a few cities, disciplines and good ideas. Some turned out as I expected. Others taught me a lot more.
Hi, I'm Tom
Design that connects ideas, people and products.
I blend strategy, branding, digital design and technology to turn complex ideas into experiences that are clear, useful and full of personality.
Moving between Latin America and Europe has shaped how I work: listening, questioning, connecting perspectives and finding solutions that make sense.
My real name is Álvaro Fabre, but my family and friends have always called me Tom. That's why Tom is the name I'd rather you know me by.
I don't design to impress other designers. I design for the people on the other side of the screen.

Three cities, three schools.
If jobs are a school, it's the best one: it tests you, teaches you, sometimes stresses you out and, truth be told, you're always grateful. Experience is the best master's degree in the world.
