About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

I graduated from Southampton Solent University in 2007 with a degree in Graphic Design, having thoroughly enjoyed my three years at university. I found the atmosphere within a group of like-minded individuals stimulating and productive, and I hope to rediscover this in any future position. On leaving university I immediately entered into a career as a Freelance Graphic Designer and over the past three years I have worked on projects both independently and as a freelance designer for a local design agency. I feel this experience would lend itself ideally to the position being offered, having gained a high level of knowledge and competence in liaising with clients and colleagues, building relationships and both meeting and surpassing expectations and demands. I consider myself to be highly presentable and articulate, able to deliver creative solutions on projects, as well as being full of enthusiasm to succeed in a progressive and demanding position that offers great potential.

I am confident in my skill set and ability to adapt to new environments and tasks, that I have all the necessary qualities that would make me ideal for this role:

∑ Advanced experience of Adobe Creative Suite Software, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator.

∑ A strong eye for detail and a perfectionist attitude epitomises my design persona, along with a passionate mentality to problem solving.

∑ I have relied upon my communication and organisation skills to build strong relationships and deliver successful solutions throughout my freelance career. I also feel that my drive and ambition to create such a career for myself after leaving university highlights my positive attitude to design.

∑ I would relish the opportunity to work within a team environment again and enjoy the pressure of delivering to a deadline.

In autumn 2009, I made the decision to spend five months in France over the winter ski season to broaden my outlook and gain a new perspective on life. The fabulous scenery, diverse culture and laid back approach to life was a revelation, but at the same time redoubled my ambitions to develop a successful career within the design industry on my return to England.

Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope to hear from you soon so that we can further discuss how my skills and abilities are aligned with the Junior Designer position.

Yours sincerely,

Timothy Wood
