"Tim is an exceptional individual who is truly an asset to any workplace. In my time at Interzone, I saw him come in at first as a Web Designer. Due to a number of circumstances, he was regularly required to generate 'AAA' Level corporate or task-specific websites for our company in a very short period of time. I know I speak for the majority of our company when I say that the work he did in these endeavours elevated our company's online presence to the level we felt was reflective of the high quality of our product - his web skills and art skills are exceptional. Later on, Tim joined the World Design team at Interzone, and I think everyone was really impressed with his ability to transfer his skills to that discipline seamlessly, and with such impressive results. On top of all of this, Tim is actually a gifted and entertaining writer, a very funny guy whose mere presence elevates the morale of those working with and around him. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I highly recommend him, and look forward to watching his career trajectory in the future."
- Alex Ringis, Sound Designer at Interzone Games

"Tim is a great guy to work with, always pushing to develop his skills, his great sense of humour is a big reason the GUI team was such a closely knit team. Tim approaches his work with a great deal of quality, a high level of initiative and his deep passion serves him well and will continue to do so far into the future, which I believe is very bright for Tim."
- Darren Yeow, Art Director at Interzone Games

"Tim's work at Interzone consistently met exceptional standards. Not many people at Interzone would have passed through there without being impressed by Tim's quality, efficiency, and overall demenour. He remains perceptive, constructively critical, willing to set himself to what's required, and does so in a humourous and approachable way. I highly reccomend Tim for any role in this vocation."
- Daniel Streatfield, Game Designer at Interzone Games
