Re:Letter of Recommendation for Yookyung Lee (Stacy)

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Sangmin You, Principal at H Architecture P.C. in New York. It was my pleasure to work with Stacy for a period of three months during her internship with our firm. Among the many designers I've collaborated with, Stacy stands out as one of the most dedicated individuals.

Stacy primarily contributed to “OOO Art Gallery” project, which is located to open in Tribeca, New York one of most trendy Art Gallery District. Throughout the project, she consistently delivered exceptional performance even under tight deadlines and demanding workflows. Her support to senior designers was invaluable, particularly in the Concept Design and Schematic Design (SD) phases, where she provided input on various concept options for the gallery and VIP lounge. Stacy demonstrated proficiency in utilizing software such as ‘Rhino3D’ and ‘Enscape’, effectively incorporating new technologies like AI image generators to enhance our design process, producing high-quality rendering images and mood boards. During the Design Development (DD) phase, Stacy assumed responsibility for designing key areas such as bathrooms, breakout room with kitchen, and the gallery reception area. Her meticulous attention to detail was evident as she curated reference images that precisely aligned with the client's vision. Stacy presented a range of design options, from material applications to subtle design features, all in harmony with the industrial interior design concept we aimed to achieve. Not only did Stacy meet the expectations set by her supervisors and comply with ADA regulations, but she also demonstrated a proactive eagerness to learn and swiftly apply new knowledge to her tasks. Furthermore, with a background in fine art studies, Stacy brings a unique perspective to the intersection of fine art and architecture/interior design. Her enthusiasm for exploring these connections often sparked insightful discussions among her peers, inspiring creative outcomes collaboratively.

Overall, Stacy's dedication, proficiency, and passion for the craft make her a valuable asset to any design team. I am confident that she will continue to excel in her future endeavors.

Kind Regards,

Recommendation Letter for Yookyung Lee MDes in Adaptive Reuse Rhode Island School of Design Department of Interior Architecture Providence, US

This letter is provided at the request of Yookyung (Stacy) Lee, who has recently completed her 2year Master of Design (MDes) in Adaptive Reuse at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), in the Interior Architecture Department (INTAR).

As her Instructor in the Spring semester 2022, I am in full support of Stacy’s application. Stacy took my Design Studio class – The Cloud is Material. Anatomy of Data Centers –, a research-oriented Studio aimed to investigate the impact of data and information on everyday life.

Throughout the semester, Stacy exhibited her design skills, either on a conceptual and an operative level. Constant conversations shaped Stacy’s working process as well as proved her commitment, her passion, and a genuine concern for the consequences that any design act implies over the environment. The end result was a very thoughtful proposal, which consisted not only in the exploration of formal operations, but also in a compelling narrative on human and post-human forms of occupancy.

Stacy is responsible, generous and very organized. She never arrived late to class, and always kept a constructive attitude throughout the semester.

In knowing her intellectual skills, as well as her maturity and her curiosity, I strongly support Stacy’s application. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you,

To Whom May It Concern

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my strong interest in your company as an entry-level interior designer. I firmly believe that my skills and experiences align well with your team's needs.

My journey in interior design started during my undergraduate studies, where I experimented with abstract geometries to interpret building blueprints creatively. This led me to develop the "Painting Samples" project, transforming painted panels into interior sample boards integrated into a 3D model of a bathroom using Sketchup and V-ray rendering.

Continuing into a master's program in interior architecture, I focused on technological advancements and sustainability in design. As a research assistant, I delved into 3D printing and its environmental challenges, actively engaging with innovative designers at an exhibition dedicated to eco-friendly solutions. I showcased my natural dyeing projects alongside Cocovibe’s products as an exhibition participant and student marketing ambassador, while also learning from others' creative approaches to addressing plastic waste.

In my internship at A Shoucair Design, I contributed to two high-end restaurant projects and a food court booth design. On-site at the food court, I witnessed the crucial collaboration between our head designer and the local general contractor to realize a curvilinear bar table. This emphasized the importance of clear communication and meticulous attention to detail from the GC to execute the designer's vision. I also dedicated late nights to revising design packages based on client feedback to meet project deadlines.

At H-Architecture, I assisted with the monastery and Art Gallery projects, learning the importance of collaboration with subcontractors and consultants. For example, to enhance openness in design by removing louvers from the building's facade, we consulted professionals on energy usage regulations. Additionally, responding to the client's preference for an open ceiling system in the gallery space over gypsum, I utilized MEP engineers' CAD files to create 3D mockups.

Through my internship and academic experiences in interior design and fine art, along with strong resilience and endurance – which allows me to face new challenges – I’ve developed the necessary skill sets that will add value to your company’s practices. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards, Stacy Yookyung Lee
