Re: Recommendation for Nancy Yeh To whom it may concern, I recently had the pleasure of working with Nancy while she was on a work term period (May – September 2019) at our Toronto offices of Perkins& Will (P&W). I was Nancy’s supervisor over number of tasks and projects during this period. She proved herself to be outstanding in her collaborative approach and integrate quickly within the project team. While at P&W, she worked on several projects at varying scales and was able to shift to tasks of varying complexity without any difficulty. The tasks on these projects ranged from making physical models to digital model later 3D printed. The projects included architectural and large-scale interiors projects – She worked on the design and building permit drawings for the interior renovation for the Social Service Network (SSN) – a Pro Bono project as part of P&W Social Responsibility Initiative for 2019. She was also part of the team for a largescale interior renovation of Microsoft offices in Toronto. The Microsoft project comprised of 130,000 square feet (at approximately $30m contract value) – Nancy worked as part of a team to produce the construction documents. Nancy was professional, diligent, and methodical in her approach – she communicated and worked effectively within the team. Her comments were always insightful to the task at hand, and more importantly she always asked good questions. She also had minor involvement in the RBC Borealis feasibility study, and The McArthur Hall Renovation Project at Queens University, and the Western (University) Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre. These projects, as is often the case, were on a very strict time schedule, requiring the whole team to work in a rigorous, and efficient manner. Nancy very quickly proved herself to be reliable and invaluable in her focused approach on every task. She is very hands‐on with her approach to everything she does while handling multiple tasks while ensuring each is executed promptly and efficiently. Lastly, her versatility with the use of different computer software, allowed her to carve out a distinct role for herself within the team. She always had the confidence and respect of her colleagues. What she lacked in practical experience, she more than made up through her enthusiasm and quick succinct responses. Her ability to engage the issues at hand, question and offer suggestions to a given problem often helped in making decisions towards achieving the required milestones. Nancy has a great future as an architect and will be an asset to any project and practice. I whole heartedly recommend her and look forward to following her progress. If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,

December 22, 2018 Dear Sir / Madam, To whom it may concern, Diamond Schmitt Architects (DSAI) are very pleased to recommend Nancy Yeh following her Waterloo Co-op work term from September to December 2018 in the capacity of Student Architect. During her work term at DSAI Vancouver, Nancy collaborated with teams on two large scale residential projects, Mirvish Village in Toronto and Oakridge redevelopment, a large scale complex high-rise residential project in Vancouver, BC. Nancy adapted well to the project and team structures and quickly became a valuable team member. For the Oakridge project, Nancy focused on the interior layouts and prepared Revit drawings for the Design Development phase. Her involvement on Mirvish included the development of unit layouts. With her proficiency in most design and graphic software, Nancy also helped out designing graphic posters for the NLA office event, demonstrating good graphic design skills. Nancy has also demonstrated commitment to her work, was responsible and put effort to achieve the scope assigned to her efficiently. Nancy’s contribution was greatly appreciated by the team. We are confident Nancy would be a positive asset to any firm that hires her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Sincerely,
Ana Maria Llanos, Architect AIBC, OAA, MRAIC Principal

圓境綠能生態聯合建築師事務所 Ecoland Corporation Architecture Firm Taipei, Taiwan Summer Internship, 2017 June - August 3D Rhino Modeler Side View The project I was working on in Ecoland was an undeveloped commercial building in the corner of the science park in Guangzhou Science city, Guangdong, China. Since it was located in a park and the company’s target was green designs, the design team descided to create two commercial buildings into irregular tree-like shape connected by a shopping mall at the bottom which is suppose to be a hill. I spent the majority of my time with the design team and I was involved in various stages of the project. I sketched and recreated first stage designs for the building to become more sustainable and calculated the floor area several times to meet the client’s need. However, my main task was to model the commercial building in Rhinoceros to make it closer to reality and convinient for construction but still keep the irregular tree- like design at the same time. The pictures on the right are the design that I modelled for the company and what the architect showed to the client.
