Hello,

I am applying for the available position as

Graphic Designer. I have a BA in Design from the Ontario College
of Art and Design. I'm currently looking to ground my career path
and feel that the position you are offering would be a necessary and
fulfilling endeavor to pursue.

I have been co-owner of a visual design team known as Toy Rabbits

that has allowed me to hone skills in dealing with clients and
communicating with a variety of professional and executive contacts.
It also demands great time efficiency, deadline sensitivity, creative
problem solving, networking, sub-contracting and above all, a great
passion for detail and perfection.

Currently, I am fluent in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Flash,

Quark, and audio editing programs such as Audacity and Garage
Band. I am also able to work in video editing programs such as
AfterAffects. I am continuously learning more about new programs
and their capabilities as the technology is in a constant state of
development and exploration.

I am a dedicated designer, hard working and have the communication

skills required to lead a creative group. I would be grateful for an
interview to discuss the specific ways in which I could help your
organization.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regards,
Tara Ryzebol
