Robin Tooms was born with a genetic gift that gave her eight hands and arms that she currently conceals beneath brightly colored, coordinated sweater sets. On any given day you can find her utilizing those extra appendages to her advantage by simultaneously holding conference calls with clients, mining business, serving as President of AIGA Houston, working with management to set the direction of the company, updating the company blog and emailing numerous contacts, all while still managing to hit up an online Kate Spade sample sale. This refined multitasker works closely with clients to develop brand positioning, core messaging, marketing strategies and brand identities. She is dedicated to staying on the forefront of innovative technologies that enhance communication and business. In her role as Managing Director, Robin is responsible for keeping internal operations running smoothly, especially in areas regarding human resources: managing, recruiting, training, mentoring and professional development for our talented employees. Robin has been with Savage for over a decade working with clients like Baker Hughes, Devon Energy, General Motors, Imperial Sugar, Tenaris and Weingarten Realty. Robin is an alumna of University of Houston and holds an MBA from the Rice University Jones Graduate School.

Before I die, I must...
