Bio
Amanda Cheong
Thomas is a real team player who not only understands user behavior but business needs as well. He brings enthusiasm, creativity, and flexibility to any project we've worked on together. I would love to work with him again.
Glenn G. Millar
As the Creative Lead for Prosper, Thomas was a pleasure to work with. Like most good designers, Thomas is highly creative and produces extraordinary work. What makes Thomas really unique, however, is that he thinks about the needs of the business and the end user. He does not produce great designs for creativity's sake, but for the purpose of enticing the consumer and ultimately helping the bottom line. Often, the business side can conflict with the creatives. This never happens with Thomas has he has a clear picture of the overall goals of the business. Thomas showed skills in two major areas: First, he was able to produce great product across a wide variety of mediums whether it was websites, trade show booths, handouts, brochures, signage or even contests. Second, he is a great manager. Thomas had a number of creatives working for him and he was easily able to get them to produce to the needs of the business. I don't know if this is a function of his hiring skills or his management skills, but either way it was invaluable. I would gladly recommend for any organization looking for a great creative who also understands how his work ultimately affects the bottom line.
