Dear Kathy LaMontagne,

I recently completed my first year at Washington State University where

I have been studying interior design. I am looking to further my educa-
tion over the summer by filling an internship position at your firm. I am
very interested in both the commercial and residential spaces that you
work with. My goal is to provide assistance while learning as much as
possible.

My strengths lie with my dedication to learn. My first year at school has

given me the capability to work effectively. I am confident that I demon-
strate an awareness of the elements and principles of design, critical and
analytical thinking, along with knowledge of color theory and applica-
tion. I have developed the skills necessary to communicate conventions
through freehand drafting, sketching, and computer-aided drafting. I
have gained competence in the use of specific design software like Photo-
shop and In design.

I would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to intern at your firm. I look

forward to hearing and working with you in the future.

Sincerely,

Chloe Buerstatte

Samples of Work: The objective of this project was to learn how to draft floor plans for
spaces. The process included taking measurements of a room, and then
applying them to draft scaled floor plans, elevations, and sections.

The idea of this project was to create a textile design in Photoshop based
on an ethnic inspiration. In order to complete it, I had to understand and
use digital tools, create and edit graphic elements and illustrations, and
employ 2-D design concepts. The textile below was inspired by Norway.

Practice quick sketching. Applied one point perspective to the chair.
