Starting his career as a freelance designer for larger corporate clients enabled Tom to learn from masterful style guides (e.g. Verizon, Amazon, Vivitar, etc.). Freelancing taught him client management and the imortance of providing tangible value. His subsequent leadership roles in startup environments were true trials by fire, prompting the rapid development of managerial skills and necessiating him to become a true “Jack of All Trades”.
