Greetings,

I have worked with Matt DiFalco for six years at Witherspoon Media Group (WMG) as part of the in-house design team, overseeing the production of all publications. Matt has been an integral part of the design team, handling advertising builds, real estate listings, sizing and formatting of images, updating our websites, and coming up with a variety of marketing material for Town Topics Newspaper, Urban Agenda and Princeton Magazine.

Matt works on designing advertisements for area realtors, collaborating with each weekly for the newspaper’s real estate section. Matt works with advertising clients directly in con-cepting and completing their ad builds for WMG’s two high-end luxury magazines.

Matt has also worked with me on designing and producing a custom t-shirt for WMG’s anniversary, taking a graphic approach on creating a concert-style shirt design with a retro feel.

In addition to work at WMG, Matt has assisted me on several fun pro-bono poster and postcard designs for the West Windsor Arts Council, which I have been involved with since 2008. Matt is always interested in new creative opportunities.

Regards, Jeff TryonArt DirectorWitherspoon Media Group

To Whom It May Concern:

I strongly recommend my former colleague, Matt DiFalco for employment. I had the pleasure of working alongside him for 3 years at Witherspoon Media Group where he was entrusted with a great deal of responsibility.

I had the opportunity to observe Matt’s professional skills as well as interpersonal style. He was consistently pleasant, and took on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. I wish that all my co-workers had his attitude.

Regardless of deadlines or other pressure, he always delivered. His superior creative skills set him apart from other designers. His ability to conceptualize made him my “go to” designer for my clients.

Sincerely,

Jennifer McLaughlin Business Development Manager The BOSS Group 609-468- 3837
