Craig Applegath, FRAIC

Tom is very creative and produces excellent highly realistic computer renderings. We selected Tom from among 30 freelance renderers, from around the world as one of the 2 best. He is fast, creative and VERY easy to work with.

Have known Tom for a few years now and I find that he is always dependable, delivers on his promises and does it in a professional manner. He is an expert in his field and fun to work with. I recommend him and look forward to working together again.
