Bio
Stephen Avola
I worked with Tamora at Cyrk for 7 years where Tamora was responsible for all of the creative output for Cyrk’s product design, promotional design and merchandising programs. Tamora is a consummate professional whose cutting edge creative concepts, promotional ideas and product and brand knowledge were key factors in the organizations success. She has a keen sense for merchandising, lifestyle, and creative trends and is truly an inspiration to all who work with her. Tamora is a great presenter and communicator both internally and client facing and her ability to work collaboratively with sales, marketing and sourcing teams made her a true asset to the organization.

I first met Tamora while consulting for a very difficult client and have since gotten to know her and her work better through our MENG relationship. she is brilliant and very client savvy. It pays (especially in troubled economic times) to work with consultants who add superlative analytical value on top of their creative strengths. I can't recommend Tamora highly enough.
