Tia Dolinsky, IDT
Co-Founder & COO

Tia has shaped the company’s operational excellence and strategic direction since its inception in 1993. Her training as a commercial interior designer instilled in her a deep understanding of how users interact with physical spaces and products — insights that continue to influence the company’s approach to product strategy and market positioning.

Tia’s expertise in spatial relationships and ergonomic design adds a notable dimension to Graphos Product’s analytical framework. Her ability to identify non-obvious use cases and anticipate functional challenges has helped strengthen the company’s product validation and go-to-market processes. As COO, she oversees the company’s operational infrastructure and strategic planning, ensuring Graphos Product maintains its high standards of service delivery while driving sustainable growth.

Beyond her design credentials, Tia’s keen business acumen has been instrumental in building Graphos Product into a sought-after specialized agency. Her leadership in developing efficient operational systems and nurturing talent has created a robust foundation that enables the company to consistently deliver exceptional results for innovative product makers — with some of the longest-tenured and most respected team members in the industry.

Active in her community, Tia volunteers with local botanical gardens, educational initiatives, and athletic organizations, bringing the same attention to detail and strategic thinking to these pursuits that she applies to her work at Graphos Product.

The Graphos Team

Our team brings together long-tenured senior talent across strategy, creative, marketing, and web. Many of the people behind our work have been with us for decades, which is rare in this industry and reflected in the consistency of everything we deliver.

The people shaping the strategy are the same people involved in the execution. Ideas don’t get handed off and diluted. They carry through, and grow stronger.

We combine product strategy, buyer insight, and execution with a clear expectation: the work absolutely must perform. We measure what we make and stay accountable to the outcomes.

We respond quickly, communicate clearly, and keep projects moving. Tools evolve quickly, but good judgment doesn’t, and that’s where we focus.

Clients stick around because of that dependability. Many have worked with us for years, even decades. We also grow deliberately, taking on new work on a curated basis so we can maintain that standard.
