"Mile Wide Media is not just interested in the "what, when and where." They are interested in the "who and why." Whose life will this project make a difference in and why? And that's what makes them a delight to work with. T.J. is a great communicator - which means she asks great questions and she takes the time to listen. She knows at the a great product is meaningless without great relationships."

"I worked with T.J. Zark on a difficult global orientation project for over a year. She brings a deep and varied skill set that has proven invaluable and thought provoking.
T.J. has skills and abilities ranging from "seeing the concept" the client or partner is imagining and then helping and nurturing the thoughts, to connecting the disparate thoughts and ideas, to connecting thoughts and ideas to business requirements and culture. As importantly as having vision and passion to nurture, T.J. also helped us drive hard on implementation plans, outputs, tools, templates and the "stuff" that make real work come to life.
T.J. brings a real life quality to to her work, she brings her full self, is willing to disagree and debate and has the art of group solution once the debate is done. She is a great asset, an experienced designer/producer/consultant and has a richness and set of life experiences that make her unique.

Presenting ideas quickly, persuasively and powerfully is the essence of communicating. Mile Wide Media's T.J. Zark understands our message and conveys it brilliantly and beautifully.
With the extraordinary clutter around us, with the cacophony of messages and with the numberless demands on our time and attention, T.J.'s work cuts through, stands out and claims our attention. There is no more profound endorsement for a designer than this - T.J.'s work communicates.

Not Alone
T.J. created the look and feel for our original website at notalone.com, and she has been a powerful thought partner for creating community for our users. What I find most special about T.J. is her ability to become emotionally engaged in a project and make that passion transfer into developing a soulful user experience. With T.J., you get GREAT BIG heart on top of great instincts, an amazing range of human and professional experience, and the innate God-given ability to make technology interfaces that just feel right to the intended user. Even though she is thoroughly steeped in technology and cutting edges, she always leads with her humanity.

"T. J. is a visionary. She has an amazing ability to create user experiences that are uncluttered and easy to use. Not only that, she has a film maker's sense that weaves together text, screen layout, audio, photography and video well. She is an effective story-teller. She works well with clients, focusing on their needs and able to communicate solutions to them.
