To Whom It May Concern,

I have had the pleasure of working with Joe Freyta

over the past few years as an instructor in the fashion

program at The Art Institute of Colorado. Joe has been one of

my most participatory, dedicated and hard working students.

He consistently presents great ideas, designs and out-of-the-

box thinking. When working with a group, he pulls his

weight, brings out the best in others and creates an atmo-

sphere of fun, while getting the work done. He takes his job

seriously.

Joe helped create a men’s collection for my yoga

clothing business, Beckons. We have been working with the

publisher of Yoga Journal to �t the garments and re�ne their

functionality. Joe combined my domestic production require-

ment of simplicity and already existing brand aesthetic with

his own unique style to create a �ve-piece, forward-thinking

men’s collection that will be available for fall 2015 at

www.beckonsyogaclothing.com.

Joe’s work is on time, well presented, and creative. I

am impressed with his skills and positive attitude and know

that he will add greatly to any community he is part of.

Dear Recruiting Department,

Any company should count themselves lucky to have

an employee as bright, creative, and dedicated as Joe. I was

fortunate enough to be Joe’s direct supervisor from Septem-

ber 2015 through April 2016.

We worked very closely together throughout his time

at Kenneth Cole. Our category, Men’s Outerwear and Suit

Separates, spanned a 5 tier branding structure where Joe

honed his eye for design, �t analysis, and fabric development.

He was also responsible for all cads and tech packs through-

out the three seasons we worked on. He showed a sophisti-

cated grasp on garment construction during �t sessions and

proto reviews.

Without Joe I would not have been able to handle

the shear amount of work on my plate. He e�ortlessly found

innovative ways to overcome obstacles both on his own and

while working with the team. Throughout my 20 years of

experience at Kenneth Cole, I can say with con�dence, Joe’s

abilities are unparalleled to any other assistant I have had.

Despite coming on board as a young designer, he was able to

rapidly come up to speed with others much his senior.

My hope for him is to �nd a company where he can

further grow as a designer and as the creative and genuine

person he is.

For all of these reasons, I think Joe will make an

outstanding addition to your team and have no qualms about

giving Mr. Freyta the highest recommendation for the

position. If you have any questions please feel free to contact

me.
