I write this letter to apply for the position of an Interior Designer or a Conceptual Designer. I am a graduate of Bachelor of Interior Design, highly passionate about my choice of career and would like to secure a job as a Junior Interior Designer or a job with a similar role at your company.
I am a good team player with exceptional interpersonal skills and communication skills, both oral and written. Over the course, I have been experienced with software applications such as AutoCAD 2D, Google Sketch-up, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. I am also familiar with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. Being a creative person with an artistic flair I can produce free hand illustrations, sketches and perspective drawings. Being artistic has helped me develop my skills at choosing colors wisely, observing details, materials and perceiving scale/ proportions. With an excellent ability to communicate ideas of design and recognize a client’s vision, I’m confident that I can do justice to the tasks I’m given. I am capable of working effectively under pressure and am also a very fast learner. I possess good present-ability skills and problem-solving skills along with the ability to work within time limits. I frequently follow up on new trends, concepts and changes in the field of design to stay updated about the same.
Having completed my one-month internship with the company Quanto Bello, Doha-Qatar, I assisted the head designer with:

Over the course I learned to work at a highly professional and accommodating environment that gave me the opportunity to learn a lot in terms of design as well as technicality. I was exposed to various types of projects that taught me to be versatile, by challenging my skills and abilities at each step.
While interning at Havelock One, Doha-Qatar for three months, I was able to be an integral part of their design team and contribute to various projects by:
