To Whom It May Concern,
Belmer Negrillo joined the IDEO team May 2, 2005 and assisted as an
Interaction Designer. While employed at IDEO Belmer participated in a variety of
projects most of which are still confidential.
My personal experience with Belmer was managing Research and Development
work around product behavior for a variety of consumer electronics. During
this project Belmer proved to be an innovative designer and was able to make a
strong contribution to the conceptual output of the results. His easygoing disposition
makes Belmer a joy to work with. He proved himself as a team player, particularly in
a multi disciplinary setting.
I believe you will find Belmer to be a thoughtful, engaged and dedicated designer.
At his level of experience I think he is best suited to playing an expert role within a
team effort. He is confident in his ideas about design and has the technical chops to
realize them.
Sincere regards,
Paul Bradley
Design Director

To whom it may concern.
I have worked with Belmer most recently on a RD project for a large computer
manufacturer. Throughout the project he was a significant contributor providing
both creative insights, concept development and prototyping. He was able to think
outside of his discipline and engage with other members of the team in a spirited
dialogue.
Belmer would be a valuable member of any design company. He is intelligent
engaging and creative. He values teamwork over working in isolation. He is self
motivated; actively seeking out critique and collaboration wherever possible.
Given my recent experience I would not hesitate to recommend Belmer for a posi-
tion within your company.
If you would like to discuss this further please contact me at mbone@ideo.com.

101. LETTER OF REFERENCE
February 16, 2005
To whom it may concern:
This letter is aimed at assisting Mr. Belmer Negrillo in his request for an entry visa to the United
States of America. It is well worth considering my national and international experience in
Lov.e advertising agencies, such as Ogilvy, J.W.Thompson and Lowe Loducca, and the fact that Mr.
Belmer Negrillo has already worked as part of my work team.
He worked with me in two different situations: the first one at Ogilvy Brasil, when I was his
Creative Director for 2 years and the second situation when I managed him here at Loducca in a
freelancer job for an important campaign pitch.
In both occasions, Mr. Negrillo proved in practice his talent and commitment, being in charge of
the most important jobs of the agency. For his great artistic and conceptual contribution I must
highlight the jobs for IBM (when he played a decisive role in maintaining the account), Portal
Terra and Telefonica Group.
As a freelancer, Mr. Negrillo worked in both Creation and Art Direction services in November
2004, successfully creating an online campaign. During this job he also showed his skills in
managing the team and in the making of the conceptual argument used in the presentation of the
campaign.
Taking all the above into consideration, I must end this letter confidently that I am
recommending a professional that will undoubtedly stand out at any company he might work, for
his technique, creativity and, above all, his dedication and responsibility towards the agency,
clients and his colleagues.
Sincerely,
André Piva
Creation Director
