To Whom it May Concern:
Since the moment Emily Potucek started working with us, she showed a fantastic aptitude towards us and the job that had to be done. She made a great effort to learn the complexity of our brand and started immediately to help in the creation of design alternatives to resolve the different challenges we were facing. 
Emily has shown a great capacity not only understanding our challenges but also bringing good options to resolve them. 
Her intelligence and great character makes her a great candidate for any job and of course specially in design where she has proven her skills to tackle complex issues. 
I am stating my strong recommendation for Emily Potucek based on my experience working with her. Please let me know if you need more information contacting me at e-mail or phone in the header of this letter.

Sincerely 
Victor Arranz

To Whom it May Concern:
I’m writing this letter as a personal recommendation for employment for Emily Potucek. 
Although Emily did not report directly to me in her role here at Chefman, I can attest to her unimpeachable work ethic as well as the unbelievable attitude & enthusiasm with which she approached any task or project assigned to her. Additionally, she always displayed a willingness to help other departments (including my own) on projects outside the scope of her own responsibilities, including using her personal time and/or staying late to help see projects through to conclusion. Her pleasant demeanor and upbeat personality raised the spirits of those around her, and I was far from the only one saddened when she left our team.
Emily is a bright, talented, and hardworking designer who would be a tremendous asset to whichever organization is lucky enough to have her next. 
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.
Sincerely,
Pinny Kahana

I have worked with countless young designers in my career and Emily stands out as a shining example of creative excellence, with a desire to be part of a good team and produce great work. To further compliment her product design skills and talent, Emily has an architectural foundation, which further elevates her understanding of the product design field and 3D design. Emily is a smart and delightful multifaceted professional and would be an awesome and valuable addition to a creative team. She comes with my high and sincere recommendation.

Emily is an inquisitive young designer that is extremely eager to learn from others. Good at empathizing the needs of users/people very different from herself. I was particularly impressed by Emily's ability to quickly change up her design portfolio after receiving some constructive criticism. Professional and highly motivated.
