Happy Birthday, Tom!
Today marks the last of what has been a birthday-filled February here in the Vision office. Although he is immersed in language on a daily basis, Tom is (ironically) a man of few words… at least when prodded with questions about himself. đ However, despite a busy schedule and a tad of resistance, we managed to snag a few minutes with our resident world-traveler for an interview on his birthday.
What’s your title?

So at VCG, what does that mean?
Proofreading, creating print specs and getting estimates, copywriting, tracking jobs, brainstorming…
What kind of projects do you like to proof?
