Hiring Managers,
Thank you so much for taking to time to read my cover letter and resume. My name is Lise and I have been a graphic designer for over 10 years. I have extensive experience in web, print, social media, and publication design.
As the longest-serving creative director for Albuquerque the Magazine I was in charge of the design and production of a 300-page magazine 11 times a year. I managed a small staff and took on the lion’s share of the design burden. We had to be efficient and precise so I created systems for many different workflows from advertising to editorial design.
As the first-ever art director for Electric Playhouse, a multi-million dollar entertainment technology company, I built and implemented their brand vision across their physical location, web, and traditional marketing. I also used WordPress to build and maintain multiple websites as well as working with outside contractors to create marketing and web assets.
I am confident that I can handle your graphic design needs and believe I would be a wonderful addition to your team. I am personable and professional, with many years of working in a collaborative office environment.
