To Whom it May Concern:

Ivory Washington worked for Ms. Carita Inc. from September 2002 to October 2017. Ivory served as a Production Artist and worked his way to becoming Art Director.
Ivory was responsible for producing and/or recreating production proofs and files for a multitude of processes including Screen Print, Flexography, Laser Cutting and Digital Production Processes. Ivory was diligent, worked hard, a disciplined employee, and was well liked. Ivory performed his duties well, was diligent and did his very best to ensure projects were completed right and on time.
Ivory was also a good trainer, developing production artists with little to no experience.

We wish Ivory well in his future endeavors.
