About me

Please find enclosed a copy of my current CV for your consideration. I have a degree in BA Honours Degree in Graphic Design from De Montfort University. My work experience includes work with a graphic design company in UK and the international market including Dubai, where I worked on professional projects on behalf of the company's clients.

Through my work experience and degree course I have developed the confidence to take a brief and take it through concept and development and the final technical outcome of the design. I am now seeking the next step in establishing my chosen career and feel I would be ideally suited to an opportunity where I can fully apply my creative abilities, and my design skills in a role where I know these skills can be an asset to your company. I will happily work on projects individually but I can also make a strong member of a Design Team.

I look forward hearing from you soon and will be delighted to answer any questions you may have.

Yours faithfully

Leena Shubair
