To whom it may concern:
Laskaris (Aris) Ouzounis has been working from July 2022 till April 2024 in the Marketing department of Melissa Kikizas SA, as Graphic Designer. Starting as an intern, he has exceeded the expectations of both me and his direct manager, the Executive Graphic Designer, therefore as of January 2023, he had been fully incorporated in the department as Graphic Designer.
Aris is hard-working, committed, and reliable. He holds a “can do” attitude while he has a good understanding of when he must ask for help.
His designing skills and creativity have supported the good quality of his creative designs. Furthermore, his passion to continuously acquire knowledge and to contribute to the team’s tasks, urged me to get him involved in creative jobs beyond his original role’s expectation, which he successfully fulfilled. Working with us, he has especially developed experience in packaging artwork and point-of-sales material (leaflets, stands, digital banners, posters etc.).
Aris is positive, kind, self-motivated and builds close relationships with colleagues.
I have strong faith that Aris holds the skills and personality to pursue a great career in Graphic Design, while I would certainly consider rehiring him if any relevant opportunity arises in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Marialena Limneou
