To whom it may concern,

Hey there! I’m a Milwaukee-based Graphic Designer with a BFA

in Communication Design from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. I’m a curious, research-driven designer with a knack for illustration, color and motion. I’m reaching out to apply for your design position.

I’m a conceptual thinker, a constant tinkerer and a creative problem solver. I combine art and design theory with thorough research to produce interesting and exciting work. Ultimately, I hope to use art and design as an educational tool, and I hope my designs may inspire other young creators.

I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and have in-field experience with UX and UI design, mainly working with HTML5, CSS, JQuery, and Axure RP. I also have experience in the print world creating signs, brochures, booklets, banners and more. I feel my skills, goals and values mesh perfectly with your needs, and I hope you do too.

Regardless, thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Nathan
