Meet Tommy.

Ever since he was a child, Tommy has been helping clients who have something to say connect with their audience on a personal level. Back then, he was designing some of his first campaigns for friends who sold lemonade or provided babysitting – either by naming their "company", designing their logo, or crafting their first business cards for them. 

Fast-forward 30 years, and brand development, design, and storytelling are still the centerpiece of Tommy's professional career. Always tapped in to what makes people take action, Tommy's clients are often astonished at his uncanny ability to articulate exactly what they want, but could not quite put into words.

Over the past 20 years working as a designer, copywriter, brand director and creative director, Tommy has assisted a wide variety of clients in building or strengthening their brand message. The clients he has worked with run the gamut from sports legends like Jack Nicklaus and Andre Agassi, to celebrity chefs like Mario Batali, to multi-platinum Grammy®-winner 50 Cent — along with such beloved consumer brands as Disney, Nickelodeon, Mr. Coffee, Porsche, Dole, Adidas, and the YMCA. He has partnered with several global technology companies, such as HP, Twitter, Google, vmware, Edmodo, GoGuardian, Facebook (Meta) and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to provide design, marketing, and brand strategy.

"The work I do never feels like work because I love what I do. I've been told my high-octane enthusiasm for branding and design is contagious to clients and colleagues alike." 


From both an in-house and agency perspective, Tommy has overseen the creative strategy behind hundreds of packaging refreshes, ad campaigns, brand development projects, and marketing initiatives for public and private companies. Additionally, he and his teams have received multiple ADDY awards for design and copy, AVA Digital Awards, MarCom awards, Digital Video Awards, and two International Design Awards for product design.

While his main focus is on B2B, B2C, and tech startups, Tommy also mentors other designers and writers, providing valuable guidance and opportunities at key points in their careers. As a former advisory board member of the AIGA, Tommy brings to the table a vast network of vendors, business partners, and other resources crucial for establishing, building, or refreshing a brand.

Tommy has often worked side by side with creative collaborators from agencies such as Pentagram, Wolff Olins, Ogilvy & Mather, Collins, and IDEO. Additionally, he has worked alongside creative teams and individuals from Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft, Nike, Twitter, National Geographic, Disney, and Virgin on a range of campaigns and launches.

Tommy is available for consulting, coaching, speaking engagements, and new gigs.
