RECOMMENDATIONS
“I worked with Tom on a project that involved a complete overhaul of the organization’s webpage, to incorporate new branding designs, and organize the page flow to be more user-friendly. Tom achieved these objectives above the team’s expectations. He was very professional in his approach, creative in his design and did a fantastic job working through a process and coaching individuals who did not have a background in marketing and communications.”

“Tom’s work has elevated our brand to an extremely high standard. His ability to create compelling, concise and cohesive work is awesome. We really didn’t have a good handle on what we should look or sound like. Tom refined our identity and created an award winning brand which will remain for us for many years. Highly recommend!”
