I am writing this letter in support of Craig Underhill’s application for the position available at your organization.

He was a pleasure to work with and always had a positive attitude, willing to do whatever was asked of him. Craig is a talented designer, who was willing to learn and grow with the position.
Craig has more than proven his capacity to perform his job. Beyond his ability to pick up complicated instructions and work autonomously, he was always looking for more work to do. Craig was always a valuable asset and easy to manage.
Craig has my highest recommendation. If you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Craig was employed full-time by AdServices Inc., an advertising and marketing agency, from late 2007 through the end of 2015. During his employment, Craig held several positions on our Creative team culminating with the title of Art Director. His tasks consisted of graphic design for all media and for clients in a multitude of industries – professional services, retail, B2B, non-profit, etc.
Craig was a model employee, performing his duties with creativity, accuracy, and timeliness. He was a team player who was always pleasant and got along with everyone in all departments. He had a strong work ethic and was not afraid to go the extra mile as needed. (We also had some good-natured inside jokes about sports rivalries.)
AdServices was sorry to see Craig go, though we understood his decision to act in the best interests of his growing family – as Craig is obviously a devoted husband and father.
I feel that Craig Underhill will excel at any position to which he devotes his considerable talents. I am pleased to recommend him for employment without reservation. Feel free to contact me any time for further information.

Craig was a dynamite art director and graphic designer who really cared about the internal and external clients. Every job he touched was given the same thoughtful attention, and typically presented ideas to the AEs to make the project even better.
When in front of a client, Craig easily got along with them and engaged well. Many times, a designer will become sensitive to the client’s feedback… not Craig. His ultimate goal is to make it easy for the client, and make them happy.

TITLE
Senior Graphic Designer
I have known Craig for 8 years. We worked together at an advertising agency in Hollywood, Florida. He is extremely proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and was one of our top designers and creative minds. Not only did he complete his projects in a timely manner, he always helped and mentored other artists whenever needed. Craig was a very good leader and mentor in our art department. He was always more than willing to “brain-storm” with other artists and account executives as well.
I have found Craig to be trustworthy and dedicated with an outstanding sense of responsibility. I think any company would be lucky to have him.
