Dear Creative Director,

I am interested in the Creative role. My portfolio showcases brand, product, and marketing work that balances clarity and creativity. At my current studio I helped increase campaign engagement by 40% through improved visual hierarchy, accessible typography, and consistent systems.

I iterate quickly with stakeholders, present rationale clearly, and use tools like Figma and Adobe CC to translate ideas into results.

I also maintain scalable component libraries and file organization that speed handoff and ensure accessibility is considered from the start.

I would love to contribute to your team’s creative outcomes.

Sincerely,
Skylar James
