Bio
Hatman .
It is a privilege to write this reference for Katinka who worked for my company for five years. Her ability to create new patterns and her natural eye for design took us to new heights; immediately changing how we presented ourselves on the World stage. Katinka is very loyal and company orientated and is always the first to go that extra mile. She has been a wonderful team leader and has an amazing rapport with all staff. I wish her all the best wherever her new role will be and congratulate the person that takes her on.

Having known Katinka personally for a few years now; I can fully and confidently endorse her skill sets and expertise in her field. Katinka has a knack for understanding the technical side of anything, and when she has questions about it will use logic and reasoning, or abstract approach to figure it out. She is very good at reading people, and gains the respect of her peers from all backgrounds. She would be an excellent asset to any future employer.
