I strongly recommend my colleague, Thomas Slater for employment. I have had the pleasure of working alongside him for 1 year in the Global Marketing department at Schneider Electric, where he has been entrusted with a great deal of responsibility.

I have had the opportunity to observe Thomas' professional skills, as well as his interpersonal style. He is consistently pleasant, and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. I wish that all of my co-workers had his attitude. Regardless of deadlines or other pressure, Thomas always delivers. His superior organizational skills make him the consummate multi-tasker.

To Tom Slater’s prospective employer,

As a Global Product Line Manager at Schneider Electric, I had the fortune of working with Tom on various new product development projects. Tom was responsible for both creating and managing retail product packaging artwork for the UPS, AV Power and Surge Protection products I was creating.

Tom was a real pleasure to work with. He easily understood the often complex deliverables for a given project. I never had to worry about the work getting done … and unlike some others, I never had to spend my valuable time trying to track him down or push him to get stuff done. His attitude was always positive … he didn’t complain or push back when tasked with a big project or when the program deliverables would frustratingly change mid-stream.

Tom has been a great member of the team and I will be very sorry to see him go. I would hire Tom in a second if it were up to me.

Regards,
Patrick Donovan

I purchased an existing business and wanted a total re-brand. I wanted to save the name but have a new visual identity.

Tom Slater worked with me for more than two months to achieve the look I wanted. My business caters to both adults and children and I did not want to have a juvenile look. Tom carefully planned out my new look with a cohesive strategy including a website, social media icons, logo'd t-shirts and hats, and everything else I sent his way. Tom was always available for the tweaks that I needed and helped me stay focused. He created colorful and appropriate illustrations for my website and our t-shirts.

Tom was patient with my extra rounds of changes and understood I needed a comprehensive look and feel to my new business.

I have received many compliments on my web site claygroundstudio.com. It's clean, sophisticated and uncluttered. Many people in the digital business world are impressed that I have responsive design. Tom was adamant about how critical it is to have our message easily seen on all personal computing devices. I am fortunate to have worked with a creative director who knew what I needed and was smart enough to tell me that it would be worth it. He was right.

Hiring a creative director is a leap of faith. I respect and understand the time required to create a high quality product. I highly recommend Tom Slater as knowing what the role of the creative director is and helping his clients achieve their desired identity. Tom is also not afraid to speak up and point out any disconnects in the messaging and help create the right fix for the problem. He's a great creative resource! I am proud of the investment I have made.

I had the pleasure of working with Tom Slater in the Graphic, Multimedia and Web Design department at New England Institute of Technology in East Greenwich, RI, www.neit.edu. Tom and I taught courses that were often co-requisites that required frequent communication and collaboration. Tom was always readily available to discuss the needs of the courses and ways we could improve student outcomes and deliverables. One element that really impressed me in Tom’s teaching was his willingness to stay after class with students to answer their questions, and this would happen frequently, a fantastic commitment to student success. A wonderful instructor, friend and mentor, I wish you all the best Tom with a bright future ahead. Ajay Colletta

Tom takes that extra time to become acquainted with your business, which makes for an effective promotion. He takes ‘all’ into consideration, and is a great educator as well.

In the classroom, Tom is just as enthusiastic with his students as he is with his professional peers. Every student is mentored on an individual basis with extreme patience. He always pushes his students to perform at their potential, creating a positive classroom experience. Tom equips them with the latest technology and teaches them the importance of communication skills through classroom critiques and supportive criticism. He is a highly respected instructor who helps make learning engaging and rewarding. Beth Zell, Independent Graphic Design Professional
