About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Sam Thomas and I'm a graphic designer from a little town in Dorset UK. I am writing to you as I am currently on the look out for work opportunities and have seen the vacancy you have advertised.

I graduated from UWE, Bristol in the summer of 2012 with second-class honours (upper division). Since then I've worked as an intern at two award winning studios. During this period I have learned a great deal in marketing, design and communications and now feel confident applying for full time roles.

I would describe myself as a creative and ambitious designer whose objective is to offer a fine eye for detail, originality to content, and enthusiasm, with a main passion towards type and print.

Please have a look through my work on the website provided, and get in touch if you have any questions or comments.

Yours sincerely,

Sam Thomas
