DEAR EMILY, I WOULD LOVE TO PURSUE FREELANCE CREATIVE & ART DIRECTION WITH THE GARANCE DORÉ BRAND WITH MY COMPANY, _THEGUIDEDCULTURE. FURTHERMORE I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT THE INITIAL ENGAGEMENT (AT LEAST INITIALLY) SHOULD BE FOCUSED AROUND VERY SPECIFIC CLIENT BRIEFS AND PROJECTS (I.E. BRAND GUIDELINE, GARANCE DORÉ THE BOOK). IT’S MY BELIEF THAT THIS WILL ALLOW BOTH PARTIES TO TEST THE WATERS RELATIONSHIP AND THEN DECIDE ON AN EXTENDED, MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL CREATIVE RELATIONSHIP. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT THIS RELATIONSHIP COULD LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD. RESPECTFULLY YOURS, -RAJIV
