Re: Recommendation for Alexeus Nicol Dear Sir/ Madam;
Alexeus was an outstanding student of mine with wonderful conceptual skills, a dedication to the architectural design process, and a strong desire to learn. Her architectural design work is based on a keen desire to create buildings that influence and help their surrounding communities; socially and aesthetically. She fully appreciates historic and contemporary precedent and understands their importance in her designs. She likes to take the time necessary to fully understand the constraints and opportunities of a site. She is very thorough in her understanding of the three dimensional qualities of great space and a person’s experience within it. Following her final studio project last year, it was obvious that she is completely competent in presenting original and high quality designs. Her design work is thorough and easy to understand and her high level of computer software knowledge allows her to present designs in the clearest light. Her confidence and understanding of architectural theory and concepts allows her to present projects in a clear concise way to her peers, professors and future clients. Alexeus will be a strong contributing designer wherever she goes.
Sincerely,
Paul R. Mortensen, RA, LEED-AP Lecturer, Adjunct Professor - University of Maryland

Frank Nicol President FEN Enterprises, Inc. To Whom It May Concern, Alexeus Nicol worked was a great addition to my construction company team during her time with us from June through August 2012. She carefully prepared well-detailed plans that I would present to our clients as part of our contract and building permit applications. Alexeus was very thorough and worked with the clients. She took care of every little detail, many times beyond realms of responsibility. I was very pleased with her designs and the finished product, but more importantly, I was impressed with her true professional and personal manner during all aspects of the client-building relationship. Alexeus was always available and worked very hard. I would consider her a hands-on professional. I highly recommend Alexis. If I can answer any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me (240) 676-0139. Sincerely,
Frank Nicol President

240.305.6662recommendations www.alexeusnicol.com PortfolioTo Whom it May Concern: I got to know Alexeus Nicol as a fellow undergraduate student at the University of Maryland, beginning in the spring of 2010. We were both architecture majors, and because it was a relatively small program, we shared many classes and collaborated on several projects. In that time, I have always found Alexeus to be a hard worker and quick to grasp ideas, whether they be structural concepts or the design goals of a studio project. She also works well independently. Indeed, for our last project in Senior Studio, she worked determinedly on her project, developing it from a clear initial idea to one of the strongest projects presented at final review. That kind of consistent hard work is one of the main reasons that I am happy to recommend Alexeus in any of her endeavors in architecture.
