Letter of Recommendation
To whom it may concern:
As Director of Marketing and Communications at Indiana Stamp Co., Inc., I had the pleasure of being Uzoma Albert’s internship supervisor during the 2012 spring semester while he was a student at IPFW.
Uzoma was hired to assist me in creating websites for our company. I was initially very impressed with his portfolio, and the decision was made to hire him despite his lack of experience with web design. My confidence in his ability to learn a new software program in order to perform his tasks was not unfounded. He was able to start producing simple landing pages and micro sites for us very quickly.
In addition to being a quick learner, Uzoma was easy to work with. He was friendly and courteous, and able to establish a good rapport with all employees, not just those with whom he worked alongside directly. He was confident in expressing his opinions about our projects, but able to listen when those opinions were different from his own.
During the course of the semester, he learned how to balance aesthetics and design elements with the clients tastes and requests (myself being the client, in this case, as he was designing the websites to my specifications). This communication skill is a fundamental lesson for all young employees to learn, but is crucial to becoming a successful designer in particular.
It is my belief that as Uzoma continues to develop his design skills and the soft skills of communication and organization that he will be a valuable asset to any employer in the future.
Thank you,
Sarah Chesebrough

Disclaimer: I'm not a fashion professional and It is something that has captured my interest; and I'm still in a learning process.
We are a living product. The way a product is packaged is what captures our attention,in order to further explore its contents. After exploration comes the part where we decided if we need the product; and if we do, how and where it should fit into our lives? Some products we come across are functional, others are more of aesthetic value. So, how does this apply to you and fashion?
Think of yourself as a brand and the world around you as patrons in need of this brand. Do you want to be the brand that is bland or one that stands out, is appealing, admired and a must have? Your fashion is the packaging of your brand, at least on the surface level. It could also be your initial selling point; hopefully you (the brand) as a person possess even greater qualities that extend beyond your packaging.
Growing up I didn't really take much notice of fashion. I just saw it more as nice clothes, watches etc. How it came together didn't really matter. Sometimes I didn't care for what others thought. We all know quite a few people like that. Sometimes we want to say something to them, but we feel it's not our place to do so. Well, thank God for blogs, lol.
So, why is fashion important? Well, because it is something you do for yourself and for others. When you take good care of yourself by looking and smelling nice, it helps you feel better about yourself. People who come in contact with you can sense that energy. Even if they have no reason to talk to you; just seeing you can put a smile on their face or even inspire them to want to be like you. In the likelihood that they do talk to you...ok, before they do talk to you. They could be thinking, "Oh my! he/she looks and smells good; has a great sense of style, takes pride in himself etc. I'd like to know what he's about"...So, in the likelihood they do talk to you. Chances are they will compliment you on your efforts. I'm sure the compliments would add to the confidence you already have or even help make a bad day slightly better.
Let's take it even further, perhaps that compliment has now opened the door to a conversation, this is where your great inner quality now takes over. It even gets better, next thing you know you are talking about your interests and you make a friend or get a date, maybe even land that job if you were at an interview. Why? All because you took the time and effort. Eventually, it becomes second nature and effortless.
In summary you are a brand and your fashion is your packaging. A great package attracts on-lookers. Who may end up interacting with it. Such interactions can leave you and your audience feeling good. The next aspect of this fashion subject focus is on virtues and guidelines, because it's very easy to run wild or even get lost in the fashion world.

TESTIMONIALS
Uzo is fast and amazing at what he does. I am so blessed to have his help with a nonprofit website and to have access to his creative vision. He continues to work with me to help improve the site and allows me to have the creative control that I desire, and together we're working towards making this website the best it can be. It's been an easy, smooth, and incredibly effective process thanks to Uzoma's talent and hard work
