I would like to compliment you on the beauty and moderne beauty that you brought to a utilitarian project. I am a new fan of your work. I found a link to your resume advice, and searched your website and profile. I love the research of mid century mod materiality and the clean design and clear organization and mobility of your website. I just want to mention that above, in the last sentance, "customers" should be changed to either "customer satisfaction" or customers' satisfaction." Keep up the excellent work, and I hope that I may work for a forward thinking, and youthful firm someday out east. 
Happy New Year!
