While continuing his studies of embroidery design and moving all SSC curriculum to an internet based instructional platform, Thomas has evolved as a industry consultant working with such manufacturers as Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Chambers Bedding, Eddie Bauer, LandsEnd, Radio Cap, Vanity Fair, North Face, American Identity and Real Polo.
