Hi, I’m Tom

I am an experienced creative thinker, with a keen eye for detail, strong technical ability, and boundless enthusiasm for design, illustration, typography, photography, and music. I have a particular interest in identity design and branding.

Most recently, I was Sr. Director of Creative Services leading a diverse and talented team at Rollins College where I provide my team with clear creative direction and inspiration for enrollment and donor relations projects.

My project experience ranges from collateral design, identity design, branding, advertising, and magazine concept and layout.
