To Whom It May Concern:

I am contacting you regarding a Graphic Design position at your

company. I am a passionate graphic designer with a Bachelor of
Fine Art in Commercial Art: Graphic Design, and am hungry for
new design experiences to challenge my creativity. I have learned
throughout my freelance and full-time opportunities to solve
problems in creative ways, and am no stranger to tight deadlines.
I excel at typography, layout, and branding; and I believe that my
portfolio speaks for itself.

I have enjoyed my time as sole in-house designer, and am

seeking a similar position in which to put my range of design,
marketing, and project management skills to work. Having
graduated Cum Laude from the University of Central Missouri
(formerly Central Missouri State University) as an alumna of the
Honors College, I work extremely hard at everything I do. I believe
that every part of the creative process is essential to the final
product, and am willing to do everything I can to contribute to the
company's success. I have learned as a result of my in-house
design experience how to communicate in a business
environment; as well as multi-tasking, prioritizing, and
organizational skills. I pride myself on being detail-oriented, and I
enjoy the exchange of ideas in a marketing environment.

I am excited about the design opportunities that your company

has to offer. With this letter I have included a text version of my
resume and references. Please feel free to view my full resume
and portfolio at www.coroflot.com/kimhalldesign, and contact me
with any questions or comments you might have.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Sincerely,

Kimberly Hall
