"Tessa is a very talented and highly motivated artist. I had the opportunity to have her as a student and work as an intern at my studio. She is a team player and not afraid to take lead on any project. She is very punctual and her work is very polished. She really takes pride in any and everything she does. I highly recommend Tessa for any production or project. She will see that her duties are completed to the fullest and will be a great asset to an design team.
