Recommendation
“Working for a small studio, it’s critical that your Producer be able to wear a lot of different hats, and Thomas does just that. I’ve been consistently impressed with his ability to tackle whatever needs doing, whether it’s big picture vision and design, or drilling down to the details of something like dialogue copyediting to pick up the slack when we’re in crunch time.
With an organization that’s spread out across the country, it can be easy to feel disconnected from what other team members are doing, but the leadership and direction Thomas provides are key in providing a consistent vision across projects, and I’ve never once felt like I didn’t know where we were headed next.
I thoroughly enjoy working with Thomas and would recommend him without reservation as an excellent producer, designer, artist, and project manager.” – Tyler Monroe, Principal Design and QA Analyst
