Hi There! I’m Tom―
Creative Director | Brand Strategy & Visual Designer
I’m a digital designer and creative director for the last 20 years working in corporate, start-up, freelance, and agency environments. I love working with and leading other creative designers and developers, and believe positive team dynamics and clear communication are key to project success.
I’ve been the Creative Director for the strategic design firm Bold Agency since September 2023. My initial objective with Bold was to implement team dynamics and project management processes to improve efficiency and productivity, and maintain a positive creative environment.

They Say
Tom is the most talented and hard working designer/creative I’ve ever worked with. He’s up at it before you are and offers solutions you’d never think of. And he’s genuinely humble so you don’t feel bad about either.

Tom is a positive force to be reckoned with as a creative, a teammate, and a leader. He brings brilliant ideas to the table, and he executes on those ideas quickly without sacrificing quality. If he is asked to take on something new or if he identifies any areas for improvement - he jumps right in, figures it out, and delivers.
