Dear ma’am: I am really interested in the opportunity at hand. Having the passion for art and design, I have dedicated my craft and work in the advertising business for more than 14 years in the Middle Eastern Kingdom of Bahrain.

My previous post as Art Director (in Nova Graphics) has also given me a great deal of confidence in providing business communication solutions and alternatives especially during tight deadlines. I was also requested to come up with my own creative ideas,write copy and proofread at times, too.
