This letter is my personal recommendation for Paul Przystawski. I had the privilege to have been Paul’s immediate supervisor for several years. I found him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. Besides being a joy to work with, Paul is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate best practices with his team. He has successfully researched and developed several new procedures that have helped to reduce production time for deadline driven projects. Though he was an asset to our graphic studio, Paul was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company. In addition to producing well prepared files for output, Paul was instrumental in coordinating company outings to help build team spirit. He also assumed a leadership role by training and mentoring junior production specialists. I highly recommend Paul for employment. He is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization. Sincerely, Yvonne Holmes

Paul is one of the most professional and competent people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Whatever the project, Paul dives in and takes full responsibility for quality, accuracy, delegation, cost-efficiency and timing. He is extremely meticulous and pays attention to every detail. I have worked with Paul for years and whenever possible, would have him oversee print or digital production of an assignment from start to finish. From the smallest assignment to overwhelming campaigns, his knowledge of the industry and his quality control skills are second to none. As a manager, Paul is well-respected and treats every person he comes across with respect and patience. I have seen him manage countless crisis situations with calming effectiveness. Paul is forever on top of new technology and has always taken the time to teach others in effort to advance his department and the agency. Add to these skills that he is undescribably selfless, team-oriented and tireless. If Paul is on your team, everyone is better for it.
