About me

Friday 30 November, 2012

Dear Managing Director,

My name is Lena Schroeter and I am a young design fanatic who can offer fresh ideas and an enthusiasm for design that's contagious. Born in Germany, my family and I moved to New Zealand when I was 4 years old, living here ever since I can remember. Having completed my four year Bachelor of design degree with honours from Massey University in Auckland NZ this year, I am now seeking to expand my horizons and grow further in my career as a graphic designer. With a love for travel, I am seeking a position within a company overseas where I can emmerse myself into a different culture while gaining an unforgettable enriching experience within a design team.

Landing my first design job in 2010 and having worked independently with clients for 2 years now, I will be able to provide confidence in communication with professionals and a solid understanding of achieving a successful solution that will work in the real world. This experience gained while studying at University has also provided me with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines at once whilst working independently to finish the job. Having that experience to head out into the workforce straight after University would make me the ideal candidate for the internship available. As an enthusiastic team player, I love working in a team environment sharing my creativity and love for design with others.

My passion lies in all things design with a keen eye for photography. I hate to miss a good shot. Over the past year I have developed a further interest in building on my current skills in HTML/CSS, trying to absorb as much as I can. The areas of graphic design that interest me most are corporate identity, magazines/publication design, typography, and web design. Typography has always stood out to me and I could look up different typefaces and compositions all day long as entertainment. I love learning new things that will challenge my skills and test my creativity. Please feel free to have a look at a selection of my work displayed on my website inclusive of both commercial and personal design work at *.

I would be delighted with the opportunity to discuss working for you further and look forward to your reply.

Kind Regards,

Lena Schroeter
