REFERENCE DIMITRIJE DUKIC

I have had the pleasure of working with Dimitrije over the past 2 years in my role as owner
and director of Design Effect and in my role in Dubai as Design Director August 2008 to April
2010 at Hamilton International where Dimitrije is currently employed.

Dimitrije has fulfilled the role of senior architect and has earned the respect of clients and
colleagues alike. His skill set is extremely well developed and he is confident and well
presented. He is well liked and respected as a valued and reliable team player and has
produced exceptional projects as reflected in his portfolio. During this time, Dimitrije has
displayed leadership skills and a unique ability to identify and solve design problems. His
presentation skill has been a very valuable asset, one that can certainly be of great value to
any company utilizing his services. Dimitrije is loyal and has stood by the company during
difficult times.

His design sense is world class and his technical skills are of an exceptionally high quality. He
has designed and packaged full sets of technically complex large projects from concept
design stage through to construction documentation including all interfaces with consultants.
He has a calm, clear approach and maintains a positive attitude in the face of any difficulty. I
would highly recommend him and given the opportunity to work with him again I would not
hesitate and would actively seek to employ him. Any company considering him for
employment has my enthusiastic recommendation. As Dimitrijes performance has indicated,
he is destined to achieve new heights in his career.


Should you require any additional information please contact me on my e mail
