TRYBA ARCHITECTS

  • I am thrilled to recommend Brooks Cole, whom I had the privilege of mentoring and collaborating with for five years at Tryba Architects. throughout our time working together, Brooks consistently demonstrated exceptional creative talent, technical skill, and an unparalleled work ethic.

    Always reliable and resilient, Brooks was available whenever needed, navigating tight deadlines and design challenges with grace and professionalism. His ability to remain calm under pressure, deliver high-quality work, and adapt to ever-evolving project demands was truly impressive. I knew I could trust him to not only meet deadlines but to exceed expectations without compromising on quality.

    In addition to his technical and creative prowess, Brooks brings a remarkable level of empathy and understanding to his work. He has a natural ability to listen to client needs, interpret feedback, and transform it into thoughtful, innovative design solutions. This skill made him an indispensable partner in every project we undertook, as he consistently bridged the gap between client vision and design execution.

    Beyond his skills, Brooks is a strong team player who excels in collaboration, elevating individual projects and the entire team’s efforts. I fully recommend Brooks Cole to any organization, confident he will continue to excel and inspire.

    Sincerely,

    Kathleen

  • I am writing this email in support of Brooks Cole, whom I had the pleasure of working with during my time as the Director of Marketing for Tryba Architects from 2015 - 2016. During my past ten+ years of directing Marketing departments for Architectural firms ranging in size (from 60-750+ people), I have found it difficult to find and retain graphic talent in support of the Architectural practice and New Business pursuits. Brooks was a breath of fresh air to work with. His work ethic is not only outstanding, but he goes the extra step to ensure that the quality of his work enhances the quality of the work coming from the Architects, creating a comprehensive and compelling story.

    Brooks brings a keen design perspective and a much needed energy to every project that he pursues. I personally watched him grow as a designer, managing projects for some of Denver’s most notable Urban Planners and Architects and contributing to some of the firms largest projects, including the 50-Year Vision Plan for Denver International Airport and the Master Plan for the Denver Art Museum. In addition, he possesses a thorough understanding of the workings of a marketing department, which will prove an asset to any firm.

    If you would like further specifics or have any questions, I would be happy to discuss.

    Sincerely,

    Kate

GENSLER

  • I would like to recommend Brooks Cole for a position at your organization. Brooks had been an Environmental Graphic Designer at Gensler for the last 5 years. During that time, he has proven himself to be extremely skilled in all areas of environmental graphic design.

    As a valued team member, Brooks always displays organization, confidence, and professionalism when designing and delivering his work. He is always punctual and hard-working. I have consistently received extremely positive feedback from clients regarding the success of the projects and quality of service he provided.

    Having designed projects from small scale environmental graphics to graphics standards utilized by large clients for whole real estate portfolios, Brooks brings a strategic approach, a high level of skill and a clarity of vision to every project he undertakes. While at Gensler he also brought these communication skills to bear on collaborations with our internal marketing team on key project pursuits and awards submittals.

    We were all sad to see Brooks leave Gensler. He has been a model employee and a company asset from day one.

    Feel free to contact me for any further information you require for Brooks’ candidacy in your organization.

    Sincerely,

    Harry

  • I am writing this recommendation in support of Brooks Cole, whom I worked with at Gensler Denver from 2017-2021. At Gensler, Brooks’ nimbleness allowed him to effectively take on numerous responsibilities and successfully deliver across a diverse spectrum of projects. Brooks is a natural collaborator, and his infectiously upbeat demeanor positively impacted our office culture and project teams. He is professional, hardworking and always willing to go the extra mile.

    Brooks would be a strong asset in the design/marketing realm as he deeply connects with the work he produces and has an aptitude for project positioning and storytelling. In addition to his work in the EGD space he also contributed on project marketing pursuits, architecture and planning projects, as well as assisting our marketing team with visuals and copywriting.

    Brooks is a very talented professional and I highly recommend him. If I can provide any further assistance do not hesitate to contact me directly.

    Sincerely,

    Brent
