Attention: Human Resources,

As the need for companies to design and graphically convey the" look and feel"
aspects of their corporate image to a selected target audience, there is a
growing need for talented and experienced graphic/web designers in the field,
therefore I would like to submit my resume for position of Graphic Designer
should such a position become available with your company.

I have 14 years computer digital graphics experience, 4 yrs, professionally in the
computer networking industry, I am a dedicated team-player with excellent work ethic
a self-starter and can work with little or no supervision.

My skill strengths are in digital production art, web/graphic design, website
Image library management and creation of digital graphics for 4-color print media
and marketing applications. I have performed tradeshow support, packaging, preparation
of graphics and marketing collateral for tradeshow/booth shipment.

On a personal note, I was laid off from a company with the position of senior graphic
designer in 2001, which was due to economical down turn, it was economically necessary
for me to accept a position with my current position and company and a job function that is
not relevant to the field in which I truly specialize in.

I would like to get back into my field of specialty of computer digital graphic and web design.

If you feel that a meeting would be mutually beneficial I can be contacted at the following,
