I would like to express my interest in the Graphic Designer position that it currently available at Mighty Engine. Should you be interested my online portfolio can be viewed at www.jillmccoach.com. I found this opportunity through The University of the Arts Career Services website and it is one that I am very interested in. I believe that the education and work experience I have received and my passion to continue to learn and develop my skills as a designer will make me a competitive candidate for this position. My key strengths include knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, especially inDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I also have a strong eye for typography, color, and design layout. With a BFA in Graphic Design from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, I have a full understanding of effective design and communication. I also have experience in creating and developing ideas to their fullest potential, both individually and collaboratively with a team. Through internships and freelance work, I have gained experience working with clients to develop a successful design approach to make their visions a reality. Currently, I am the Marketing Director at Atkin Olshin Schade Architects, an architecture and planning firm in Philadelphia. I am responsible for the creation of all marketing materials, including proposals, portfolios, and other promotional items. In addition I am in charge of website maintenance, developing news articles, and designing e-blasts. With a smaller company I have mastered how to efficiently manage my time to work on multiple projects, meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality, and to work more independently. I have also recently enrolled in a post-graduate program at The University of Arts to receive a certificate in Web Design Essentials.
