Bio
Raymond Chalmers
When I worked closely with Tom taking a concept for a mobile application from brief to a full working prototype in a very short timescale, he was unflappable, willing, extremely thoughtful and creative, he communicated effectively within the project group and was happy to promote and field technical questions in a customer/client facing environment. He overachieved against expectations and I look forward to working again with him in the future. Needless to say I would recommend him.

Tom has carried out several pieces of work for Artsmix and always manages to interpret what we need well, whilst introducing innovative ways to get our message across, through a range of media. Most of all though, what makes Tom really stand out for me is his calm yet considered approach to any task and the way he always makes you feel you can ask to try different options - this lack of preciousness is all too rare in the majority of other creative people I have worked with in the past. Tom impressed me with his work so much that I asked him to be one of the original members of the Glue Marketing team and am great to have his talent and support as an integral part of our team.
