About me

I am a graduate from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, with a 2:1 BA(Hons) Degree in Product and Furniture Design, and currently looking for an opportunity to further develop my creative ability.

Having chosen an undergraduate degree where the tutors were active within the design industry, and where regular seminars were held by renowned design figures and companies, my studies have encouraged experimentation and diversity within my work and have compelled further knowledge and understanding of the industry; as my portfolio demonstrates.

This field of work is an area in which I haven't really had the opportunity to pursue and therefore my commercial experience is minor, but I have produced promotional artwork for friends' companies where I have had to understand the business, product, and target audience in order to effectively communicate and reflect the company's values. Such experience has strengthened both my skills as an artworker and knowledge of the design process, as I have been responsible for the development of projects from concepts through to print.

I feel that my creative flare, confidence and ability to adapt and learn will blossom with such an opportunity to work within the company, and I intend for my effervescent persona to be reflected through the work created.

Both Mac and PC literate, and fluent with Adobe Creative Suite where my strengths lie with InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, I also possess strong drawing abilities and model-making skills where I pride myself on care and attention to detail. My hands-on approach to the design process is equally as strong as my computer skills.

I strongly feel that I possess the skills and determination required to succeed within this job role. I do recognise the competition in this field and hope an interview will demonstrate my capability and desire to work. I hope you view my application favourably and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

Jamie Wood
