    Tim has designed the media that we share with all our contacts, from vendors to partners to clients, and we're always happy with the resulting products. The colors and designs are sharp and Tim listens closely to our requests and input. Would highly recommend him!

  • Debbie Campbell

    I just got the flyers Tim created for me from the printers and they look great! As a fellow designer I found Tim professional and easy to work with. He incorporated my suggestions where they made sense but led the way with a solid print design idea that I think will promote my new business service very effectively.
