Tech, Inc I am pleased to provide this letter of reference for BLOCH+COULTER Design Group. BLOCH+COULTER have prepared several award-winning Annual Reports for Tetra Tech, Inc. Each project has presented different challenges as our company expands into new business areas and services. Thomas Bloch and Victoria Coulter have been an enthusiastic and integral part of the process of presenting Tetra Tech's image and message and we have received many compliments on the design of our Annual Reports. Thomas and Victoria are very thorough in their approach. When I interviewed them initially, I was impressed that they had done considerable research on our company, unlike other designers we considered. Although they weren't familiar with our industry, they quickly came up to speed and understood the type of image which would be appropriate for our business. Then they found creative ways to enhance this image so that our book would stand out from the crowd. I understand that they hold a "design competition" in their office so that a number of creative approaches are generated as options. As the client, this approach has helped to stimulate our thinking as well, and we usually end up with a hybrid, taking the best of several approaches. Their thoroughness is also evident in every phase of production. After working with them for several years I know I can be confident that no matter how tight the deadline, they will produce a top quality deliverable. Their attention to detail is superb, and they have always exhibited responsiveness and flexibility in solving the last minute challenges which always crop up, even sacrificing holidays when necessary to get the job done on schedule. On a personal level, both Thomas and Victoria have been a pleasure to work with. Victoria is as skilled with words as she is with design, and has often suggested a bettter way to phrase an idea. Her feedback has been invaluable in the writing process. In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend this highly creative team for the most complicated and challenging design project. Sincerely, Laurel
