TEAM CREATIVE AWARDS
BRAND EXPOSURE
Tim always pushed for greatness. Early on he instilled the phrase in me, “work hard, play hard.” Later it was “it’s all in the details.” He was pixel perfect, tough, constructive, correct.... well most of the time. :) He was a coach and got the best out of me and everyone that worked for him. And there was always praise and celebration at the end. And then on to the next challenge....
Jim Kelley
Senior Art Director at Experian Marketing Services
Time and again, I have been blown away not only by Tim’s work - which is consistently spot on – but his highly contagious enthusiasm and his commitment to both his team and his client’s success.
Laura Saati
