BRIEF My passion for design has been defined through my education at the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design and professional practice which has allowed me to experience a breadth of project typologies, with a broad spectrum of scales and strategies. I have taken part in projects that have allowed me to flourish, work and operate in a collaborative environment. Creatively, I have always been interested in the juxtaposition of marrying the existing with new, the brutal with organic, expanding and pushing the experience of space, the boundaries between and blurring the perception of transition in between. I am captivated by the complexity of cities, people and society that allows for a theoretical approach and finding solutions to modern societies growing needs.

December 30, 2019 Dear Hiring Manager, Henry Ho worked at m ARCHITECTS as a student intern from August 2014 until he graduated in May 2016, and then as an architectural intern until he left for a job in the state of Washington in January 2017. I recall first being impressed with the quality of Henry’s graphic and presentation skills in his resume and portfolio. At our first interview, I was taken by Henry’s maturity and communication skills, and quickly determined that he would be an excellent addition to our team. While working at m ARCHITECTS, Henry’s work assignments varied, but consisted primarily of support for myself and our other architects. From time-to-time Henry would happily assist with marketing, website, networking, and administrative tasks. He is skilled at all phases of work on architectural projects, including programming, design, presentation, production, consultant coordination, and construction administration. One of Henry’s most impressive skills is his ability to manage both his and other team members time, including scheduling project milestones and consistently delivering on time. I found Henry to be a fast learner and a capable member of our staff. He exhibited professionalism and dedication to the field along with an impressive work ethic, evidenced by his promptness, attention to detail, reliability, responsiveness, diligence, and ability to follow directions. Henry is polite, has a neat appearance, is well-organized, works efficiently, and consistently exhibits good judgment and honesty. His personality is very pleasant, proven by the positive working relationships he developed with our clients, consultants and contractors. It is my sincere belief that Henry will achieve a high level of success in his career as an interior designer and/or architect. In short, I can highly recommend Henry Ho and would have no hesitation to hire him again. Best regards, Michael

RE:
Reference, Henry Ho
To Whom It May Concern: Our firm of over 50 employees recently left our prior location after 27 years and moved to a new suite in the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Spokane. We met Henry Ho through recommendation of the building property manager. Mr. Ho was our project manager/project architect in the planning, design and construction phases responsible for understanding the unique needs of our firm and translating these needs to a new space that we can grow with for the next twenty plus years. We presented him with many challenges: budget, timelessness (we really do not like to move), and flexibility all wrapped with needs of fast track construction. Mr. Ho excelled under pressure and even during the most intense discussions was professional and kind and represented our needs. His role expanded well beyond the architectural role and stretched into design of custom furniture and worked with us on expressing in the architecture what we do best which is lighting design and mechanical system design. We know that Mr. Ho was working on other projects at the time our project was in design (as most architects do) but he always made us feel like we were his only client and he met our intense schedule requirements. Please call or stop by our new office to see Mr. Ho’s work if you have any questions we can answer.
Sincerely,
Kjersten Kuhta, PE

December 30th, 2019 To Whom It May Concern It is my pleasure to recommend Henry Ho. I had the opportunity to work directly with Henry on the architectural design for our main hospital cafeteria remodel. This project was associated with the rebranding of our company and the cafeteria was the main hub that needed special attention, especially regarding the aesthetics and ergonomics. The project turned out to be a great success. He met all deadlines and provided exceptional customer service. Henry was able to share his creative expertise in a concise manner that everyone in the group understood. He is an expert in his industry of design and overall a great all-around person to work with. I strongly recommend Henry as he will be an asset to any team he joins right away. Sincerely,
John Donaghy Confluence Health Engineering Director
