About me

To whom it may concern



I would like to apply for the position of Graphics Designer that you currently have advertised. I have been involved in the design industry since leaving university from art-worker, sports bag designer to studio manager, in-house designer to agency designer. I relish the chance of having new learning experiences, career enhancements and I believe that I would be able to fulfil this role.





I am an innovative, hardworking and highly motivated Industrial Design and PGCE Art and Design graduate with fourteen years experience within the industry. I have extensive experience operating most graphic design packages (Adobe CC) and a wide knowledge of digital processes, printing, materials and manufacturing techniques. I pride myself on having excellent hand and computer drawing skill with an enthusiasm for creativity and unique solutions.
 


I have experience in being a studio manager and was involved in the organising of the relocation of a design studio. My role included the continuation of production in new and unfamiliar surroundings, setting up of new computer networks, hiring of new staff and supporting the existing staff during the relocation. Throughout my career I have been responsible for budgets, presenting ideas and concepts, ordering of materials and stock control. I feel one of my strengths is to help others develop their skills and abilities with patience and excellent communication. I strive to lead a team from the front and actively seek ways for personal development that I can then pass on to other members of my team. 



I have enhanced my knowledge of design and manufacturing processes by having varied roles in different companies and have continued my professional development by attending design courses. This has given me a wide and extensive knowledge of which I feel very proud of and believe that I have an individual and highly creative approach to designing due to my unique design background. My next area of development is to start a website design course (Flash, HTML, CCS and CMS systems) this year through Blackburn College as I want to expand my understanding in this area. 
 


Please find attached my CV. For examples of my work please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Also please follow my link to my online portfolio


 
I would be delighted to undertake this challenging and rewarding position within the company. I have the relevant experiences, qualifications and qualities to be a successful Graphics Designer.





I look forward to hearing from you soon


Yours sincerely
