Tomi Vollauschek is an award-winning, internationally published and exhibited Graphic Designer, Art Director, Creative Director, Educator and Guest Lecturer with over 20 years of experience.

He frequently guest lectures Design at BA and Master level, runs inspirational masterclass design workshops, teaches Visual Identity, Design Systems, Typography, Editorial Design and 'Culture Graphique' at Master level. Tomi is an external judge of final year Master Diplomas. He has worked—among other art and design colleges—with MICA in Baltimore, USA, and ECV France, specifically in Aix-en-Provence, Bordeaux, and Lille.

Tomi co-founded the multi-disciplinary design studio FL@33, which was established in London in 2001 after its founders obtained their Master of Arts degrees at the Royal College of Art (Communication Art & Design). The studio is currently led by Tomi Vollauschek, an Austrian born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, who, after over 20 years in London, is now living in Lyon.

Since then Tomi has created a renowned body of work, ranging from self-initiated projects to commissioned work for clients from around the world, across many different sectors, regardless of size and budget. From logos to integrated identity systems, intriguing imagery to book designs, poster campaigns to websites and moving image to spatial design.

Tomi gives international lectures, judges, art directs, consults, designs, curates, exhibits, contributes to books and magazines, conceives, compiles, edits and writes his own FL@33 books, runs workshops, and also develops design products for the studio's sister company Stereohype—graphic art label and online boutique—launched in 2004 as an global platform for emerging and established talents.

FL@33 interviews, features and studio profiles have been radio broadcast and published online and in more than 200 magazines, newspapers and books around the world.  A FL@33 monograph was published in 2005 as part of the bi-lingual (English/French) design & designer book series by French Pyramyd Editions.  Books conceived/written/edited/designed by Tomi under the FL@33 tag include Postcard (translated into French, German and Spanish), Made & Sold: Toys, T-Shirts, Prints, Zines and Other Stuff and The 3D Type Book—all published worldwide by Laurence King.

A FL@33 monograph (Design & Designer 033 – FL@33) was published in 2005 by Pyramyd. FL@33's Tomi Vollauschek (under the FL@33 tag) also authored and designed three books that were published worldwide by Laurence King and partner publishers: Postcard (2008), Made & Sold: Toys, T-Shirts, Prints, Zines and Other Stuff (2009) and The 3D Type Book (2011). In the same year FL@33’s popular online sound collection project bzzzpeek.com was exhibited in New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Together, Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi self-published the widely acclaimed Trans-form magazine (2001) and the tenth anniversary book and exhibition catalogue Stereohype 2004–2014 that Tomi conceived, compiled and designed.
