Dear Sir/Madam,

I am extremely interested in the creative position available with your company and feel my qualifications and my skills would prove to be an asset to your organization.

I have always been very keen in the world of art & design, as I grew up in a very artistic family. I am from the Cayman Islands, but have been all over the world for school, so I believe I have a huge step up on the competition when it comes to culture and experience in the world. I've never liked to pigeon-hole myself and my abilities, as looking at my resume you will see I have worked in many different areas of the art & design world; from movies,to fine art, to photography and graphic design.

After doing my Foundation Diploma in Art & Design (specializing in Print & Photo Media) from the very prestigious Central St. Martins College of Art & Design in London, I completed my Bachelor degree at the Art Institute of California in Santa Monica in September 2008.

On completion I worked freelance in LA for a year, but eventually had to move home one year later, as a result of my visa expiration. From October 2009 until August2011, I worked in a small design studio in the Cayman Islands. Iwas very lucky in the sense that as an entry level job, I was been thrown right into the "pit," designing the magazine, branding, print, advertising, packaging, managing and updating websites, everything! But I needed more and wanted to push myself and push my creativity to the next level!

After working with a small studio, I wanted to work with a larger firm, to gain experience in both fields, and now currently work for a company, which branches from financial services, to real estate and media industries.

I am definitely a team-player, and really enjoy working alongside other creatives, bouncing ideas off and working off each other's energy! I am extremely organized and would definitely consider myself a perfectionist; whom one could classify as a fault and a positive. I do my best and put everything into the work I produce, because at the end of the day it's not just my name on the design, but the company's reputation as well.

I really look forward to hearing your feedback, and again if you want further examples I would be more than happy to provide them to you.

Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely

Jaime Doak
