About me

Ref: Senior Graphic Designer for Quintessentially Creative

To the Hiring Manager

I believe that I am a talented designer with the conceptual ability to come up with fresh and unique design solutions to communicate a client's values to resonate with their audience.

I have over 7 year's design experience, the last 3 of which have been in a senior role. Throughout my career I have been involved with a variety of design disciplines, including branding, design for print, digital design, advertising and illustration.

I currently specialise in the luxury London property industry, a competitive sector, where every new development demands a fresh approach to create an impact in a saturated market. I am immersed in all aspects of the design process - from initial strategic creative for pitches, devising the style guide and all visual elements of the new brand (type, colour, image styles etc), through to the rollout of the creative for various marketing touch-points. I work closely with the Creative Director to oversee artworkers and freelancers, brief copywriters and art direct photographers. I work hard to ensure all the creative needs of our clients' businesses are met, and my creative has resulted in multiple pitch wins.

With design experience for a wide range of sectors, including film and TV, FMCG, events, public sector, charity and healthcare, I feel that I can respond to any design brief and style, be it bold and buzzing, minimal clean elegance or anywhere in-between. I have comprehensive knowledge of Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, and I am efficient in crafting intelligent and creative solutions. I have an industrious work ethic and aim to push the creative to surpass expectations.

While I enjoy working at my current agency, I feel it is time to move forward in my career, take on new challenges, and become more involved with the world's premiere luxury brands.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss my experience

and answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards

Ian Mennie
