Here's how I plan to exceed yours:

From day one I seek to greater understand the full scope of the organizations vision which will help frame my

design for the life of our relationship. As a visionary, trend research and product development is less about

jumping on “what’s hot” and more about innovating markets. Think of it like this. In football, a free-safety is the

third and final line of defense. Their position is to maintain a broad outlook of the whole picture with an eye that

can quickly anticipate where the play is going before it even happens. Jumping on trends is like being right

there, just in time to make the tackle, while innovating markets is being there a few seconds earlier to intercept

the ball thereby turning the tables in your teams favor. So my question here is which type of player do you

prefer?

As a product designer I am an expert at identifying opportunities in any market, conceptualizing products with

people in mind and designing innovative products that not only show profit potential but they function as well.

As a certified graphic recorder I also offer the power of visual storytelling to illuminate ideas, spark innovation,

guide design thinking, and facilitate strategy development. Finally, as my partner you’ll be able to utilize my

visual arts brand, JBerryart, to enrich your arts-related strategies.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my resume and I hope that you, too, see a mutual benefit

in our courtship. I will be reaching out to you within the next couple of days to further discuss your

organizations needs and clarify any questions that you may have moving forward.

Best regards,

S O F T WA R E
