RE: Recommendation for Timothy S. Stewart

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of Meet Each Need with Dignity, Inc. (MEND), I proudly recommend Timothy S. Stewart to your company and would like to convey my experience with him on his exceptionally professional character and work ethic.

Mr. Stewart created and executed MEND’s brand-new website as part of a program under California State University Northridge’s Art Department last April. It can be viewed at the URL address: www.mendpoverty.org.

Prior to his assistance, we received minimal feedback and visitation online for our services. Mr. Stewart created a very user-friendly interface, and he worked tirelessly to provide support and feedback to all of our staff’s and community volunteers’ suggestions within the needed timeline toward the website’s launch. Since his design has been online, we have received an exponential amount of non-duplicated “traffic” and are very grateful to him for dedicating his talents to promote our poverty agency’s services on the internet.

Mr. Stewart’s skills and abilities would make an outstanding addition to your company. It was a wonderful experience working together with him and I am especially thankful for his expertise and creativity.

Sincerely,
Marianne Haver Hill

To whom it may concern,

I have had the opportunity to work with Tim, as he was my student as well as one of the designers that I directed at the Center for Visual Communication.

As a student Tim was eager to learn, inquisitive and very outspoken. He was never shy about providing feedback to others in class and wasn’t hesitant to develop new things beyond his range of knowledge.

What Tim excelled at is his passion and dedication to web design and I have seen him grow exponentially in the past year, which is a sign of his talent and dedication. He is an excellent problem solver, which is also so much about design and web development in particular.

I am sad to see him leave, but also proud of his accomplishments and he will be a valuable asset to wherever he goes and whoever decides to hire him.

To whom it may concern,

I am pleased to tell you that I love my new website. I am also pleased to say that the experience of producing this up grade was made most pleasurable because of Tim Stewart. He is not only knowledgeable but also patient and relaxed.

Please understand I am well into my sixties. Although I can work on the web it isn’t something that I grew up with so I am somewhat sensitive about my ignorance. Tim never made me feel uncomfortable. He guided me through the process without a trace of condescension.

I want to take this moment to thank him and say to anyone who reads this letter that any association with Tim Stewart will be to your great benefit.
