Hello,

I am writing to express my interest in the Graphic Designer position. With my extensive design background, and experience with clients in a diverse range of industries, I feel I would be a great fit for this position.

Throughout my career, I have worked on a wide variety of projects and successfully delivered impactful designs and visual storytelling that resonate with target audiences. This includes print, digital, streaming and social media design, marketing collateral, outdoor advertising, trade show graphics, packaging, branding and brand development. My recent work history includes work for Roku, Kia Motors, LiveNation, Porsche, HBO Max, Disney, Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix. Other companies and brands I’ve done work for include: Hyundai Capital, NBC/Universal, SONY, FOX, Morongo Casino, NAI Capital, Red Bull, KB Home, Laserfiche, Taylor Made Golf, VCA, The Ben Hotel, Keller Williams, and many more.

Here are a few other reasons why I would be a great candidate for this role:

- Versatile background includes work with ad agencies (Bergmann Zwerdling Direct (BZD), Kastner & Partners, Siltanen & Partners, Liquid Advertising, One Eighteen Advertising, Zambezi, Daily Advertising, Frontline Communications) as well as on staff, freelance, and contract work.

- The ability to work on or off-site, or on a hybrid work schedule - independently or as part of a team.
