DEAR HIRING MANAGER

SONYA SMITH My name is Audrey Davenport and I would like to be considered for your position of Director of Creative Services at the Tallulah Falls School.

Gifted at an early age with the ability to draw, interested in fine art, with a passionate for communication and service; I naturally gravitated to visual communication and advertising. I discovered graphic design as an alternative, yet artistic means of communication to serve a broader community. Although, my experience is rooted in traditional publication design and print production, my skills are current with the industry standards of digital design and its constantly-changing platforms.

As an organized, results-oriented professional, I approach each design project with research that produces original deliverables. I have managed projects from the corporate environment - as department lead, to the grassroots as partner in a small business. I perform well in a collaborative team environment as well as independently. And I would be honored to partner my creative skill set with your Advancement Team - to influence young lives at Tallulah Falls School.

GRATITUDE I APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU SPEND REVIEWING MY APPLICATION. IT SERVES TO GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE OF MY ABILITIES; AFTER WHICH, I HOPE YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE AN EVEN CLOSER LOOK. IN THE MEANTIME, I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU! RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
