      Tom is an absolute pleasure to work with. He was able to answer all my questions and delivered above and beyond what I expected. I would highly recommend him to others. I really appreciated the honest, considered and knowledgeable advice that he offered, as well as his patience and ability to explain things in layman terms to an online startup newbie.

      Tom was patient and tried his utmost to find the name that truly reflected our brand. Although we haven't found a name yet, I am hoping to pick one from the range of options Tom has give us. I will be happy to continue working with Tom on current and future projects.

      Tom is a pleasure to work with; professional, responsive and knowledgable. My highest testimonial is to say that I'd hire someone again and I would certainly do so with Tom. Helping to name a brand or business is more difficult than one may think and although Tom did not 'crack the code' to bring through the name we were looking for, he certainly demonstrated a sound approach in arriving at his suggestions.

      In 24 hours Tom was able to receive a brief and deliver what he promised. If we had more time I suspect his work would surpass expectations.
