NYC Stefan Sagmeister reference July 5, 2012 'This is to confirm that Joel Stephens completed an internship at Sagmeister Inc. in New York from September 1 2010 – December 1 2010 with great success. His duties included designs for a wide variety of projects. He worked on sequences on a documentary film on Happiness, helped build prototypes and elaborate props, and was instrumental in the photography of many of the studios projects. Joel is a true pleasure to work with, extremely competent in all important design areas and will be a valuable addition to any design or architecture office. I recommend him highly. Of all the interns that ever worked at our studio, Joel was among the very, very best.' Stefan Sagmeister Creative Director Show less
