Bio
Jennifer Mead
In my experience as a designer working with Tim as an art director, he is excellent at communicating his vision for a project. He understands and can execute the work himself, but can also give great creative direction without telling you how to do it. With this skill, he has helped me make my work stronger, encouraging and pushing me to find better solutions. He leads by example with integrity and it is obvious that he truly cares about the work and the people he works with. With his wide variety of design experience and ability to share his years of acquired expertise in design and web design, he is an absolute asset. In addition to all of that, he is a joy to work with. He is hard-working, trustworthy, professional, and has a kind and approachable personality that puts people at ease.
