Re: Junior design assistant

I would like to apply for the post of junior design assistant. I am attaching my CV and samples of my work as requested in your advert.

After gaining my High School Certificate, I studied for a three-year Technological Faculty Degree (Diploma de Graduacao Tecnologica) in graphic design from the IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) in Sao Paolo. I then went on to study a Masters in Graphic Design and Infographics at IED in Rio de Janeiro.

My Diploma project was on branding in the sports industry. For my Masters, my project centred on an infographics series for a design company. I have attended design workshops in Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro and a masterclass on visual design in New York.

You can also see my designs on my website www.ruizdesign.com. As well as the website itself, there are links to work I have done for companies in Brazil, the UK and the US including:

annual reports for an NGO
DVDs and online training packages for a financial house
posters for a bus company.

I have:

the ability to collaborate or work alone
experience of working with clients at all stages of the design process
language skills and am fluent in Portuguese and English with a working knowledge of Spanish and German.

I would very much like to work in the UK. I see from your website that Graphics Workshop has several international employees and a sponsorship licence.

I am available for an interview by Teams or telephone, before coming to England. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
