About me

Dear Mr. or Mrs.,

my name is Francesca and I refer to your advertisment for a Web Designer on creativepool.co.uk which I find really interesting as it seems to perfectly fit my career plans, desires and competences.

As you will note from my CV hereby attached , I have been responsible for taking care of the web and graphic aspects in my previows workplace where I had to take decisions but also make sure to respect the targets and strategies discussed with my employers . I was the responsible for all aspects of branding, I thought and conceptualized how to communicate a message and build the image combining shape, colour, imagery, typography and space .

I handled the task of meeting the people interested and fulfilled their needs and requirements, conducting research, collecting information on materials and image references relevant to project, conceptualizing and presenting various design ideas and projecting budgets and schedules.

Consequently, through my job, I have developed leadership skills, good organizations, the ability to think on my own feet, to produce quality work to tight deadlines and to get results underpressure.

Having acquired all the technical skills you are looking for, through my experiences but, above all, through the continuos devotion to the job that I deeply love, I would be delighted to work in a company where I could express my potential, develop further practical knowledge and where my personality, enthusiasm and critical-creative mind-set could be useful.
As I was working in a unusual context for a designer, I learnt to be a flexible and indipendent collaborator, able to handle projects at every different stage of development and proactive when it comes to work in a group. As most of my previous work was freelance based , after my studies, I developed the ability of being teacher of myself, trying to learn everyday as much as possibile about conceptualizing clean, accessible, usable, standards based HTML, XHTML, CSS, Javascript websites, adapting visual georgeous designs to the technical constraints, that is my passion. As a freelance I took care of websites that did not even required the use of CMS and I had to create them from scratch .Notwithstanding the above I'm quite confident with CMS , created a website with Plone and have some experience with WordPress . In a few words : I had no opportunity to take part in highly structured projects. And this is what I am looking for.

I am ambitious, passionate and with a very strong positive can-do attitude, with a naturally creative and imaginative mind and I like to push myself creatively and take on new challenges with lots of enthusiasm.
Please find here attached my cv and link to my personal website.

Thank you for your time , looking forward to read from you .

Yours faithfully,

Francesca Buratti
