RECOMMENDATIONS

“I worked with Tom on a project that involved a complete overhaul of the organization’s webpage to incorporate new branding designs, organize the page flow to be more user-friendly. Tom achieved these objectives above the team’s expectations. He was very professional in his approach, creative in his design and did a fantastic job working through a process and coaching individuals who did not have a background in marketing and communications.”
Stuart Hoffman - Past VP of Marketing & Development at Goodwill of Western MO & Eastern KS

“I wanted a strong brand for the government relations business I was starting that communicated my values and spoke to the mission of the business. Tom and Lyn delivered and then some!”
Jason Wiens - Founder, Rise Policy LLC

“Tom led our brand refresh process, and it was transformative! From helping us uncover our brand values, to helping us design a new brand identity, to launching a new website, to being an ongoing design resource, Tom has been an amazing partner!”
Melissa Roberts Chapman - Past Director of Marketing, The Enterprise Center of Johnson County

“Tom’s work has elevated our brand to an extremely high standard. His ability to create compelling, concise and cohesive work is awesome. We really didn’t have a good handle on what we should look or sound like. Tom refined our identity and created an award winning brand which will remain for us for many years. Highly recommend!”
Brock Centlivre - Principal at 5BY5 Engineers, LLC
