I’m excited to introduce myself, seeking consideration for any of your current openings for designers, particularly the Packaging Designer position. Firstly, I’ve been successful in large operations and small businesses, from lead design to customer service positions. I’ve thrived in self-sufficient roles and in large, multi-tiered collaborative teams. I’ve been praised for my judgment, multitasking, and communication. I work best at a fast pace, with a lot on my plate; that kind of pressure is so rewarding to me. My art itself tends to focus on making a big impact with simple and clean elements. I’impact with simple and clean elements. I’ve worked with a variety of mediums and aesthetics.

Naturally, my passion extends beyond my work. I’ve been involved in the underground punk, hardcore, and metal music scenes for years. I’ve had my hands in all aspects from fronting bands and running a record distribution to opening new venues and managing international tours. The adventures I had while immersed that heavily into the music scene and community have changed the way I see the world and seriously raised the bar for the fun and enrichment I need in my life, even years later.

I began gaming I began gaming over 10 years ago to help fulfill that need around life’s responsibilities. I’ve played some titles competitively, achieving top rankings due to my focus and determination. Gaming may be easy to dismiss as child’s play but I take real pride in meeting and surpassing my goals to be one of the most focused and hardest working players in these games, later lending my experience and drive to eSports companies. With gaming, I’ve found a perfect balance of fun and discipline. It resounds with me the same way music and art do, and has become a significant pasignificant part of my personal and professional development.

Travel is something I’ve done a lot of, pushing myself across three continents to seek out real and beautiful experiences. My appreciation for art, its history, and its future is rooted in this. I’ve participated in community gallery showings across the country. I have studied art, foreign language, and theatre in school, unrelated to my study program and have studied abroad.

I’ve done my best to represent my work ethic and style in my resume and portfolio. My goal with this letter is to put a finer point on my range, life experiences, and personality to really describe the person being brought to the table. I’m dedicated, I’m a hard worker, I’m passionate, and I’m talented, and I hope that I can have the opportunity to bring those qualities to Hasbro.
