Wow! I don't know where to start...Her creative vision and a real sense of what I was looking for made the
project and my office come out so much better than I ever thought...Even my clients have a sense of
peace when in my office and that was what I was going for.

Good Day Team Formica!
I am very excited to see you have a design and architecture representative opening for the greater Los
Angeles and Las Vegas areas. My experiences with Formica are very versed, as I have worked with the
McDonald’s, Burger King, and other QSR industries for the last seven years. My further knowledge of
Formica product extends to solid surface and laminates used within residential spaces and offices.
I would love to speak with you further about the opportunity you have available in this position, as I know I
would make a great asset to your already great team!
Cheers,
Shelly Renee Gerritsma
