Graphic Designer - 11 years Experience - Creative Extraordinaire

Dear Hiring Manager: I am a highly skilled Graphic Designer with a bachelors in design and 9 to 11 years of visual graphics, marketing, management and copy-writing experience. I have done design work for clients ranging from small start-ups to those as large as the Marriott Hotels, ABC Imaging, LionBridge and Exxon Mobil. I have served as a Senior Designer, Program Manager and Director of Marketing, so I have well rounded experience above and beyond a typical designer in areas such as developing marketing plans, program administration, strategic advertising methods and just knowing what it takes to sell a product or service from start to finish. This has allowed me to have a more holistic viewpoint of the world of marketing from all angles of the advertising spectrum. Yet my highest passion above all else is utilizing my creative nature though design. I have a strong, extremely versatile skill set ranging from clean corporate Swiss style design, all the way through New York style, image heavy and highly creative visuals. My goal is to serve your company in all the various aspects of advanced visual communications, manage priorities and execute projects in a fast paced, deadline driven environment. I specialize in print media, multi-media, web art, creative solutions to challenging communication problems, SEO, social media optimization and digital photography. I am very loyal to my company, hard working, highly creative, passionate, great with people and have a high attention to detail. I also have strong ad writing / proofing skills, and can pin-point, summarize or rewrite the highest priority marketing points to emphasize within a hierarchy of copy. I have developed a good balance between being thorough, yet efficient in executing my work, while checking for typos and errors all at the same time. I love interacting with people and have experience at building and maintaining positive vendor and client partnerships from my background in sales. I'm very effective at communicating my ideas, design choices and the reasonings behind them to clientele. I look forward to a long term relationship in a team oriented environment within your organization. Sincerely, Chris Felton 301-437-8313 (c)
