Trudy is a rare talent and her abilities are only surpassed by her desire to do the best possible work and her determination to make every project she touches exceptional. I strongly recommend Trudy for any project that involves message design, or instructional design. She has a wealth of proven experience in effectively managing people, processes and technology for high return results.

The website and video clips you produced are perfect for our needs. As you know, the group I worked with could never find the time to make edits I needed. Now that you have created a site that is much easier to use, and shows an example of how we work, I am certain my business will grow even more.

The North Carolina Scenic Byways video series -- produced through the NC Agency for Public Telecommunications -- received both state and national attention. Designed for presentation in all fourth grade classrooms, the programs succeed at increasing awareness of the geographical, historical, and cultural significance of North Carolina's Scenic Byways. Ms. Thomson's mannerism was extremely professional and very personable. She thoughtfully transposed sound educational practices into magnificently rich videos.

— Tracey Greggs, K-12 Social Studies Chief, NC Department of Public Instruction

Thank you so much for helping me create a website for my business. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I love how you created images to use in place of bullet points. And am amazed at how quickly you can make edits to my site when I need them. You are great to work with!

— Kay Pratt, RD, LDN, Esssential Nutrition

I saw the final cut of the video this morning and it looks great!  Thank you so much for helping create this outstanding production.  It could not have happened without you, and your crew and the many others who joined our adventure of the “low budget” video that looks like a million dollars… and delivers a great message! I look forward to doing it again!

I am an artist with a phobia of computer work, yet Trudy worked patiently with me to create a site. She understood what I wanted to convey, and efficiently set up a template. She taught me how to create photos for the site. She also helped me arrange for hosting. So I highly recommend her to anyone, especially to those who are shy with the computer.

Trudy’s instructional design background was a perfect fit for our educational DVD on knitting processes. Trudy crafted a script that was clear and instructive, and which made a complex, visual subject easily understandable. Her ability to immerse herself in the subject matter from the learner’s point of view ensured that the program was right on target. And she was able to do all this while keeping the project on schedule and within budget.

— Greg Rowland, CEO, MindWorks Multimedia, Inc.

I just want to thank you for my beautiful website. I am so pleased and the feedback from friends who have seen it is very enthusiastic. It was great working with you. You understood what I wanted and what worked with the images of my sculpture. Your talent, patience and artistic ability made an otherwise daunting task much easier. Many, many thanks.

— Virginia Gibbons, Clay Sculture Artist, Third Gate Studio

We are so pleased with the high quality of our product. We firmly believe your timeliness, professionalism and attention to detail took the piece to another level. We've received great feedback from viewers, who are quick to compliment the documentary's authenticity and cohesiveness.

— Shirley Hise, Executive Director, Mitchell County Chamber of Commerce

Your video clips are the highest quality I've ever seen on the internet! Crystal clear and absolutely no freezing, jumping, or any other blips. And, of course, the information design and visual design are great, as always.
