G R A P H I C D E S I G N E R / D I G I T A L D E S I G N E R

As a Chicago-based graphic designer and digital designer, I have the talent and drive to succeed in the role of Art Director. My first real gig was as a paralegal reviewing marketing creatives. After years spent toiling in corporate legal departments, I left behind a career of killing ideas in favor of bringing them to life. In 2014, I obtained a painfully expensive Master’s Degree in Computer Graphics & Motion Technology from DePaul University. Graphic designer for the Mike’s Hard Lemonade Co. by day and hockey goalie by night, I come armed with a unique blend of artistic talent, technical ability, and flashy glove saves. I understand that passionate ideas are the engine which drives the consumer brand experience. You will find that I possess many tools including creativity, attention to detail, and excellent work ethic. If you are looking for a hungry, ambitious individual to add to your creative team, then you should consider me a strong candidate.

I have enclosed my resume for review. Some of the strengths that I possess include:

- Ability to provide high-performance results from inspiration, design, to finished art

- Expert knowledge in Adobe Creative Suite and 3ds Max

- Extensive experience in digital design, UX/UI design, prototyping, programming, and databases These skills coupled with my overwhelming desire to succeed have resulted in my achievements to date and undoubtedly ensure my success in the future. I relish the opportunity to become part of your organization and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
