To whom it may concern,
I have been in the design field for over 30 years and have acquired a tremendous
amount of experience along the way. These experiences have pushed, pulled and
served as the catalyst to mold me into the designer that I have become today. I
have a wide array of design ability: graphic design, photo art direction, industrial
and product design, creative brainstorming, problem solving and the ability to bring
these ideas together into a physical product, I am a doer. I am proficient in Adobe
Creative Suite CS5 on a Mac, my tools of choice.
Please feel free to visit www.coroflot.com/Linda_morgan to view my online, in
progress portfolio and check out the links under the “Activity” tab to view the 561
page Leed’s full line catalog which I designed, art directed, and actively participated
in the production of with a great team of artists, photographers and production
specialists. We completed this project from concept to in-hand in a little over 3
months, a huge undertaking involving many people and vast amounts of information
to coordinate and to bring together culminating in the finished catalog.
I hope to be able to further discuss my diverse capabilities and look forward to
hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Linda Morgan
Creative Designer
