To Whom It May Concern,

I take initiative, become a leader, tackle challenges and take pride in my work. Creativity, innovation, and integrity are the key drivers for my
professional development and leadership. My diverse experience, work ethics and exposure to customers world-wide would be real assets for this job.
I have a strong academic background combined with 10+ years of Visual Design and Art Direction working in various diverse industries from fashion,
and healthcare to beauty, sports and food/beverage. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on major brands like Jean Jeggings, Ahh
Bra,Tone Tees, Toblerone, Becks, Zumba, P90X, Shamwow, and As Seen On TV, both locally and internationally. I have created close relationships
and provided services to clients in over 100 countries.
As a Designer and Art Director, I believe that the best quality I can nurture is to be pragmatic. I believe that you need to embrace your beliefs and
passions, as well as listen, apply yourself and adapt to all situations. Dealing with people in an effective and sensible way teaches you how to deliver
the solutions that your clients need, and not only the ones they ask for.
I want to work for your company because I believe I am a great fit for what this job entails, but also a great fit amongst your other employees
on the team. Being creative is what I do...day in and day out, and I love it! My goal is to work for a company where the people are top-shelf, the morale
is high, and the environment is positive, energetic and goal-oriented. I am eager to be in the perfect place where I can grow, achieve my goals, make
a difference.
I would be pleased to meet with you to further discuss why I would be a great choice to be your next successful candidate.
Kindly,
Jenn Silver
