Dear Potential Employer,
I am writing to express my interest in a graphic design position being offered.
I have graduated recently from a graphic design program from the University of Houston that has allowed me to build on various skills including design concepts, adobe software’s, working with multiple projects at once and following through with deadlines. I seek to be part of a creative team where I can expand on my skills to produce and build a foundation for a thriving career path.
My strengths and styles that I am drawn to are illustrative and detailed work and I enjoy producing from hand and then expanding on my vision through web. However, through my University’s program, I have been able to experience a diverse set of projects that have taught me about grids, typography and minimalism.
Please review my attached resume to see in depth the work skills that I have, which mostly revolve around customer service in different platforms, such as fast-paced changing environments and even online forums.
I would like to follow up a week later to see if I qualify in meeting the job position’s needs and expectations.
Thank you for taking the time to consider me as an applicant.
Sincerely,
Maham Choudry
