About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Lucy and I am currently an assistant designer at a leading ceramic and design company. We create bespoke gifts and hampers for leading companies across the UK. I saw your advertisement for a junior designer and I would like to apply for this position.

As an all-round creative person with a passion for producing visually stimulating finished products, this role really grabbed my attention and interest. I believe that I have the skills to perform, the determination to succeed and the personality to thrive in a team.

I have a vast variety of experience tackling all types of dynamic and challenging briefs and pride myself on always delivering to a professional standard.

I have a solid foundation in Adobe Creative Suite; specialising in the use of Photoshop and Illustrator. I have a keen eye for detail, a strong sense of colour and natural creative flair. Visualising design ideas, developing concepts into finished artwork and working in the appropriate style are all skills I have consciously developed. I have a love for narrative within single imagery and thoroughly enjoy turning these into surface pattern design.

At my current role I am responsible for putting together product specification sheets to support the development of product prototypes, product photography to support portfolio development, product research, competitive analysis, setting up artwork for print, liaising during meetings, taking minutes, pallet tray configurations, back labels, designing artwork for packaging and creating illustrations/patterns for products.

As well as my creative ability, I also have a lot of interpersonal skills to offer. I am self-motivated, well organised, friendly and responsible. I thrive under pressure, enjoy challenging myself and am continuously looking to push personal boundaries.

In addition, I am commercially aware, like to keep up with current market trends and understand how to use social media to drive awareness and generate interest.

With a genuine love and interest in visual communication, design, layout and imagery, I am ready to continue my journey in the creative industry and immerse myself in a new, exciting role.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Lucy
