Dear Hiring Manager
I’m very interested in joining WunderLand Group as a Branding Designer.
I possess expert skills in Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel as well as PhotoShop, Illustrator,
InDesign and Quark. Although my preference is Macintosh, I am equally skilled on a PC platform.
I have been responsible for the design, layout and formatting of print and web materials. I can
create high-impact designs intended to engage, attract new customers and sell goods and
services.
I can develop or acquire images used in a variety of creative projects, including advertisements,
brochures, catalogs, direct mail, corporate identity, packaging, presentations, websites,
promotional displays and signage.
I have an affinity for branding and identity creation. I can handle sensitive and confidential
documents and information with complete professionalism.
I collaborate very well with senior executives, engineers, managers, and administrators on complex
jobs and special projects. I have good self confidence and presence and am comfortable presenting
in front of clients and articulating concepts.
For my first project at Navis, I produced a corporate style guide then implemented those branding
standards. I designed, produced and delivered multi-page brochures, datasheets, case studies,
press kits and an integrated website.
After Navis merged with Zebra, I designed, created, managed, proofed, printed, and delivered
integrated multiple section documents [including RFP’s, presentations, user conference catalogues,
trade show graphics, software’s “user interface” art, product logos, internal documentation,
stationary] and I branded the corporate internal document library.

At Deutsche Banc, I collaborated with bankers and managers and created pitchbooks, graphs,
charts, presentations and other print/design projects. I also trained other co-workers in Illustrator
and Visio techniques. Because many projects took several days and required multiple specialists to
complete, clear and accurate communication was essential to the success of the various projects.
I have also contracted for Ernst & Young, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Pixar, PCWorld, Lucent Technologies,
CH2MHill, Andersen Consulting, and the Oakland Housing Authority.
I feel my experience and knowledge would be a valuable addition to the Williams Lea team of
professionals.
Thank you for your time,
Scott Rittenburg
